Well this is not a so unexpected issue, because cumulative updates occasionally fail to install, so if you’re not familiar with the situation, this isn’t the first time users have problems with downloading a cumulative update. But, just because this isn’t the first time, Microsoft should already come up with a fix, which isn’t the case.

Wait for Another Cumulative Update

After the installation of KB3124262 fails, you’ll be offered to install the update over and over again, so it’s an endless circle. And unless you remove the patch, you’re going to get the error message all the time. Here’s what one user reported on Microsoft forums: There are users who say that this update failed to install and gave error 0x80070020: We don’t have a workaround for this issue right now, and as we learned from past, Microsoft probably won’t deliver a fix. But the good thing with this update is that it’s a cumulative update, which means that the next cumulative update will contain all bug fixes and improvements from this update, so maybe the best option is to just wait for the next cumulative update for Windows 10.

Other issues caused by KB3124262

Failed installs aren’t the single errors caused by this specific update. There are Windows 10 users complaining about how their Start button became inoperable: Somebody else says he is getting the 0x8e5e0152 error: There are users who say that after installing KB3124262 on their Windows 10 laptop, they get continously prompted to reboot the system. One user is complaining that his desktop is gone, however weird that might sound: There are even users who said they lost files, pictures, and download folders after installing KB3124262 update on Windows 10. There are several who claim that this particular update has disabled their Elan touchpad. However, if you really want to install cumulative update KB3124262 on your computer, you can try to install it manually by downloading a x86 version from this link, or x64 from this link.
