As you may have already heard, Windows 10 Technical Preview, Build 10049 is out for Windows Insiders subscribed to the Fast Ring.
I've been battling this for a few hours and have a problem and a solution to share with you all:
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 - (0x8024402f).
This, for me, was due to a timeout occurring while Windows Update tried to install a Realtek driver.
To fix this, we need to use Group Policy Edit. Follow the instructions below to solve this error (this solution may not apply to you, even if you receive the same error message):
Run GPEdit as Admin:
- Open Start, type gpedit.msc, right-click it and click Run as Administrator;
- Click the Computer Configuration node in the far-left pane;
- Expand the Administrative Templates node;
- Expand the System node;
- Click the Device Installation node;
- In the right pane, double-click the 'Configure device installation time-out' list item;
- In the Configure Device Installation Time-out dialog, click the 'Enabled' radio button, and enter a higher value, such as '2000' for the Device Installation Time-out field;
- Click Apply, then OK. Go back to Windows Update in the Settings app, click Retry.

Whereas I don't doubt the validity of your observations, I can't help but think that there must be a better forum for this post?!?!?

Good point I guess. Only reason I posted it here was because I originally found out that Win 10 Tech Preview Build 10049 was available on this website in an article/news thing. I then came back here when I ran into issues (after searching) to see if someone left comments to that post describing any issues they had or if there was a fix, since no other site seems to have a fix for it, so I thought I might as well post the solution where I found the article.

I think you're right, but I still say the OP was more interesting and relevant to me than most of what gets posted here.
I appreciate it.

Actually, to be honest, so do I, and that's exactly why I think this is the wrong forum. Here, posts get pushed down at a very quick pace, and in a matter of hours, it will be out in oblivion.
No doubt, it will still be searchable, but we all know the structure of the Lounge and how hard it is to find anything here even if we know it ought to be here...
I'd say that posting it as a tip would be a better way of keeping it available for everybody...

Sounds right to me.

Hey guys, I agree that it would have been better posted as a Tip, and I did try, but all of the Tip categories revolve around specific development things, and I didn't wanna post it in the wrong section. So that's why I just posted it in a general chat area (the lounge). I was hoping there would just be a general 'Windows' category to post articles to, but I'm not surprised that there isn't - 'cause then we'd probably have 90% of all articles using that category.

While in grade school, my friends and I used to use rubber bands to shoot paper clips at each other. Lucky thing no one lost an eye. Good times.

What? Have you completely forgotten about Willy[^]? He claims that he was in your class in school!

As kids we used to giggle when we heard someone say "one-eyed Willy". Like no one knew what that really meant.

I used to like paper clips before Micro$oft introduced Clippy.

Clippy is still available via WindowsRG(really good) - just open WOrd via the start button and follow the trail...Clickety[^]

Yup, "bing".
These words only sound funny to us, though, and it's reciprocated -- my missus (a Shanghai lass; same spoken language as Taiwan) is forever telling me that I sound stupid.
At least, I hope that that's what she's talking about.

The link doesn't work on the iPad, sadly. I just typed it in.

Your link gave me a Chinese character on the right side. Is that what you're referring to?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Check the translation of the character.
