It looks like you're having trouble installing the RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) on your HP 450 G5 with Windows 11 24h2. The error code 0x8024402c typically indicates a problem with Windows Update or network connectivity which is preventing the installation from completing successfully. Here are several steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps​

1. Check Network Connectivity:
   • Ensure your laptop is connected to the internet. You can do this by opening a browser and visiting a website.
   []Disable VPN/Proxy:
   
   • If you are using a VPN or proxy, try disabling it. Sometimes, these can interfere with Windows Update.
   []Run Windows Update Troubleshooter:
   • Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters and find the Windows Update troubleshooter. Run it to see if it can find and fix any issues.
   []Manually Install RSAT:
   
   • You can try downloading the RSAT tools directly from the Microsoft Download Center. This is particularly useful if you're having issues with online installations. Follow these steps:
     1. Go to Microsoft's RSAT download page.
     2. Download the appropriate version for your Windows 11 24h2 Enterprise.
     3. Install the downloaded package.
   []Reset Windows Update Components:
   • If the above steps don't resolve the issue, you might want to reset the Windows Update components:
     1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
     2. Run these commands one by one:
        Code:

        bash net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver

     3. After that, try installing the RSAT tools again.
   []Check Windows Services:
   
   • Ensure that the following services are running:
     • Windows Update
     • Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
     • Cryptographic Services
   []Using DISM and SFC:
   • Run the following commands in an elevated Command Prompt to repair any potential system file corruption:
     Code:

     bash DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth sfc /scannow

Example PowerShell Command​

When installing RSAT tools via PowerShell, after ensuring everything else is set up correctly, you can try the command again:

Code:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability -Online

Conclusion​

Additional Troubleshooting Steps​

1. Check Group Policy Settings:
   • If you're on a domain, there might be Group Policies that restrict the installation of certain features. Be sure to check with your IT department if necessary.
2. Use Windows Settings to Install RSAT:
   • Sometimes directly accessing the settings to install RSAT works better:
   • Go to Settings > Apps > Optional Features > Add a feature.
   • Search for "RSAT" and try to install the individual tools from there.
3. Network Configuration:
   • Since error code 0x8024402c often points to network problems, double-check your DNS settings:
     • Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections.
     • Right-click your connection, select Properties, then click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
     • Ensure your DNS is set to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8) or try using Cloudflare’s DNS (1.1.1.1).
4. Clearing Windows Update Cache:
   • Sometimes, the problem lies with the update cache itself:
   • Stop the Windows Update service (net stop wuauserv), then navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete all files within this folder. Restart the service (net start wuauserv) and try installing RSAT again.
5. Use DISM and SFC Again:
   • Since system file corruption can often block updates, running the commands again in an elevated prompt can help:
     
     Code:

     bash DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth sfc /scannow

6. Consider a Repair Install:
   • If the issue persists, you might want to consider performing a repair by using the Windows Media Creation Tool. This approach can repair system issues without losing your personal files.
7. Downgrading:
   • If all else fails and the RSAT tools are essential for your work, downgrading to Windows 11 23 might be a reasonable option. This could stabilize your system until the issues with the 24h2 version are resolved.
