      @Ahmad Reshad sediqi: Stop the Windows Update service first or try to delete the folder in Windows Safe Mode.

    i am admin of several VMs + hyper-v hosts, and from time to time a new 2012r2 or 2016 is deployed using msdn image with AVMA key…once i setup a 2016 VM, sometime i got this 0x8024402f error when updating (even if machine is deployed from updated template….), maybe this issue is caused by network i don't know, never got problems like this at home….
    sometimes it get fixed by itself over time, but it is not much reliable…
    i tried your setup many times, but without success…as you said, it was caused by corrupted wsus local database…therefore i find a solution, but it involves another working win10 or server 2016….
    already tried to wipe folder ….stop service->wipe softdistr folder -> start service is not working

    (not sure if this is working on 7/8/2012 even w2k3, there i got no problems…)
    1. stop wuauserv service on both servers / workstations
    2. remove \softwaredistribution\downloads folder (less MB/GB to copy….)
    3. copy whole c:\windows\softwaredistribution\ folder to corrupted workstation/ server
    4. start wsus service on both nodes
    5. corrupted node will now download / check for updates

    you're welcome

    changing the public dns and restarting windows has fixes my problem to window 10 update. i think its also occurring due to poor internet connections.

    My case the issue was caused by the domain applied. The image was recovered and the domain lost the trust. Because of that the network configuration, manage by the DNS, interrupt the updating process and the error code 0x8024402f is shown.
    To solve the problem, the host was removed from the domain and changed to WORKGROUP.
