Hi,

 E_NOINTERFACE                                                  winerror.h
# No such interface supported
# 5 matches found for "0x80004002"

Seems like a device issue.

What is the name of the update which is failing to install?

What are the 3rd party devices connected to the computer when the update fails?

I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.
