I bought Minecraft windows 10 on Microsoft store but it requires a higher version of the operating system then what I have. I have OS version 15603.786 but the required version is 17134.0 or higher.

When I go to the check for windows update there is an option to check online for updates from Microsoft update and I have get this update notification "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903 - Error 0x80242006". When I click retry I get the error in the title: 0x8024a105. How can I fix these errors and update my computer?

I ran the troubleshooter and the only error I got was "windows could not automatically detect this networks proxy settings". this is what it says with the 0x8024a105 error;

"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: (0x8024a105)"

any help would be deeply appreciated.

I had the same issue and tried to fix the problem by deleting the catroot2 folder which did not help. Instead I tried a post from the official German Microsoft support:

In short:

1. Start cmd as admin.

2. Stop all Windows Update related services:

   net stop wuauserv
   net stop cryptSvc
   net stop bits
   net stop msiserver

3. Backup the folders C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributionand C:\Windows\System32\catroot2.

4. Clean the content of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and C:\Windows\System32\catroot2.  You will need some tries. Sometimes the services restart automatically, so stop them again if the deletion is blocked.

5. Start the services:

   net start wuauserv
   net start cryptSvc
   net start bits
   net start msiserver

6. In best case, restart the computer, but in my case I hit update and it took a long time but then it worked.

General Windows Update fixes:

• Run Windows Update Troubleshooter
  This is done inSettings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update > Run the troubleshooter

• Rename the Update folders by entering the following commands in an elevated Command Prompt:

  net stop wuauserv
  CD %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
  Ren Download Download.old
  net start wuauserv

  Reboot before trying again.

• Check that the BITS service is started
  This is done by running services.msc, where the service is named "Background Intelligent Transfer Service". Start it manually if it is not started.

• If none of the above have helped, force the issue by doing offline upgrade to the latest version. For details see the articleHow to Do a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade.

• If the last step also fails, repeat the installation while booting in Safe mode.
