Key notes
As a long-time user of Windows systems, I’ve come to learn that Microsoft frequently releases updates to fix bugs, introduce new features, and improve system stability.
Staying up to date with these updates is crucial for keeping your system secure against malware attacks.
However, things don’t always go smoothly when updating your operating system. Recently I’ve come across the 0x80244022 error code while trying to apply certain update patches on my Windows 10 device.
I can relate to the frustration this issue can cause, so I created this short list of tips and tricks, from my own experience, that you can use to solve this issue.
Windows update error 0x80244022: Why does it occur?
The 0x80244022 error code is associated with a dedicated software update issue and is displayed when a connection problem occurs in the middle of the update operation.
If you receive thiserroryou shouldn’t panic – there is nothing wrong with yourWindows 10system, and usually, the problem can be fixed easily.
Note: the error code does not describe a system problem but aninterrupted connectionbetween your device andMicrosoft’s servers.
The behavior for this system bug is the following one: you decide to check for updates and you run theWindows 10Update feature.
Somewhere the process gets interrupted and you get this message: ‘There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80244022)’.
If you are currently trying to find the perfect fix for this malfunction, you should also try the troubleshooting solutions listed below.
How do I fix the Windows update error 0x80244022?
1. Use Windows Update Troubleshooter

3. Verify the date and the time
This is another fix that might not be considered by most of us – its simplicity might be the reason why.
However, if the Date and Time aren’t set correctly, the updates cannot be installed on your computer (this is a default security measure onWindows 10).
The bottom line is that you should adjust these system settings before reapplying the update sequence.
4. Install the updates manually
This is quite a complicated operation – not because it’s complex or anything but because it’s time-consuming.
Anyway, if you have enough time to spend on trying to get past theWindows updateerror code 0x80244022 malfunction, try to install the update packages manually.
