This 0x8024001D means " WU E INVALID UPDATE". That is, some update has non valid metadata.

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 msxml3.dll

net start wuauserv


Reboot Windows and go to Windows Update.

Locate in your hard disk "SoftwareDistribution" folder and delete its content
