Resolve Windows 10 Upgrade Error Code 8007002C-4000D

12 Replies

Most of the Windows 10 upgrades I have done so far have gone quite smoothly. However, I did run into an upgrade issue with a customer the other day. Here is what would happen. I would download Windows 10 and it would begin its upgrade process. After Windows 10 got to about 99% installed the installation would reboot. After the reboot, the screen would go black for a bit and then revert back to the previous operating system, Windows 7. Windows would then display error code 8007002C-4000D.

Windows 10 Upgrade Error

Another technician looked at the problem first so I will list the steps he tried.

Step One: Turned off AntiVirus ( Avast ) , Uninstalled Covenant Eyes (Software)

Step Two: Deleted Items in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Step Three: Ran Command Prompt wuauclt.exe /updatenow

After the above steps were completed, the computer still returned error code 8007002C-4000D.

I decided to take a look at the issue. I decided to “Google” the issue first to see if anyone else had a fix for this problem. I found this Microsoft forum full of people having this issue. I scanned over the thread and found a general consensus that it seemed to be a software giving us upgrade problems. Here are the steps I tried.

I uninstalled Avast and Covenant Eyes software.

I ran system file checker sfc /scannow . System file checker didn’t find anything amiss.

Next I ran msconfig and went to the startup tab. Under the startup tab I removed all software from starting up.

I began the Windows 10 upgrade. Much to my relief and happiness the Windows 10 upgrade was successful.

Conclusion: From the troubleshooting things I tried, I believe unchecking all software from startup is what fixed this issue. Previously, Windows 10 would almost install but after the reboot the software would try starting up. One of the software items I unchecked must have been giving me my issues.

I hope these troubleshooting tips can help you out. Please leave a comment if you have trouble upgrading your computer to Windows 10 as well.

How to Enable ” Delete Confirmation Dialog” in Windows 10

6 Replies

Microsoft is making many changes with their newest operating system, Windows 10. At the time of this article I am using Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926. Starting with Windows 8 and continuing into Windows 10, when you delete a file you don’t get a ” Would you like to delete this file?” confirmation dialog box. This setting is still disabled by default in the Windows 10 Build 9926. Below you will find a short video on how to disable this feature. If you would rather follow the written directions, you will find them below.

 

I personally don’t mind when I delete a file, that is just deletes it, and doesn’t prompt me to confirm my actions. However, if you want the extra security prompt before you delete the a file, here is how you enable it in Windows 10. These settings should also apply to Windows 8 or 8.1 as described in this article.

Step One: Right-click Recycle Bin on your desktop and select Properties.Recycle Bin Properties

Step Two: Check the box “Display delete confirmation dialog box”. Select Apply and then OK. Make sure you select the hard drive that you want this setting to affect. On my computer I have an SSD for the operating system and another hard drive for document storage. You can specify the setting for both drives or just one. Pretty neat!
