Installation status: Failed
Error Details: Error Code C1900208
This error occurs in Windows 10 usually then, when in the background is running a virus scanner, which is certainly the case with many of you. That is why we recommend you to deactivate the virus scanner on your computer or to remove it before your Windows' downloads 10 update.

Should you already be affected by the error C1900208 when you upgrade to Windows 10, then you have now the first delete the failed update again from your PC. This is very simple with the following instructions:

1. Open the Windows Explorer and navigate to the following path: "C: \ Windows \ SoftwareDistribution \ Download"

2. Deletes all files in this folder

3. Now open the bottom left again the Start menu and then the command prompt as an administrator: All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt (Run as administrator)

4. Give now in the console command "wuauclt.exe / UpdateNow"

5. Subsequently, the update from Windows 10 via the Update Center will restart.

The error C1900208 should no longer occur after you disable / uninstall anti-virus software on your computer. After the Windows 10 update is downloaded again, and then installed, you should of course as soon as possible an antivirus software enable or install on your computer.
