Windows Update errors aren’t new, and the 0x80248007 error is just one of many similar Windows Update problems. The good news is that they’re also often easy to fix. Here’s how.

A frustrating aspect of errors like this is that there is no way to tell exactly what went wrong. So while the fixes are easy, you usually have to keep trying them one by one until something actually works.

Whenever there is a problem with a Windows update, the first thing you should check is the Windows Update Service. As the service dedicated to checking for and installing the latest Windows updates, most update-related errors originate from this service.

You don’t need to do much. Restarting the service will recheck for updates and attempt a new download.
