Why do I get error 0x0070004 when trying to update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8?
- by Jeffrey Lin
So, I'm trying to update Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 via the Windows Store, but every time I attempt to, the update downloads properly, but then I get the error:
Windows 8.1
This app wasn't installed - view details
When I click on it, it says:
Something happened and the Windows 8.1 could not be installed. Please try again. Error code: 0x80070004
Try again Cancel Install
What does this mean? A quick Google search yields nothing.
I have tried rebooting, clearing the store cache, and resetting Windows Update.
A quick chkdsk scan shows no errors.
A SFC scan shows that there are many issues.

Could this be the issue?

Why is the registry corrupt?
