Error code 0x80242006 is a well-known Windows error that users encounter when trying to install updates. However, careful analysis by our research team shows that this is not the most used Windows. Typically, the frequency of occurrence increases as Microsoft releases major versions such as: B. Version 1709 (OS Build 16299), Version 1703 (OS Build 15063), or Version 1607 (OS Build 14393). The latest version, known as version 1803 [2] (OS Build 17134) or Knowledge Base Code 4103721, seems to have caused error 0x80242006 for many Windows 10 users.
The problem reportedly occurs in a variety of circumstances. While some users encounter error 0x80242006 when trying to install V1803, others notice it in the Windows Update section after installing random updates, rather than the version itself.
However, most Windows 10 users who encounter the error message “Feature upgrade to Windows 10, version 1803 – error 0x80242006” claim that the problem occurred immediately after reverting to version 1709 or 1709 from 1803.
There are many reasons why you might see this error checking. Even so, Windows Defender incompatibility, stopping BITS to update leftovers are some of the most common triggers for 0x80242006 errors in Windows 10.

Rename the Catroot2 and Software Distribution folders.
When Windows downloads updates, they are stored in a special folder called Software Distribution. Files downloaded here will be automatically deleted after installation is complete. However, if it is not clearing or is pending installation, you have two options. First, rename the SoftwareDistribution folder after stopping Windows Update service. Then reset the catroot2 folder.

The problem could be caused by Windows Defender. Thus, disabling Windows Defender might fix the problem.
- Hold down the Windows key and press R (release the Windows key).
- Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
- Navigate to Computer Configuration> Administrative Templates> Windows Components.
- Click Windows Defender, and then double-click Turn off Windows Defender.
