RE: Error 8024400D in Windows Update

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

After install the update from microsoft update site you must reopen the
microsoft update side and click on change settings. Then click on change
settins again. Toward the bottom of the screen you will see a box that says
disable microsoft update and use windows update check this box and then click
apply changes now. You then can run windows update again and everyting
should run ok
