    0x80240016 WU_E_INSTALL_NOT_ALLOWED
    Operation tried to install while another installation was in progress or
    the system was pending a mandatory restart.

    Does the issue occur when searching for, downloading, or, installing
    updates ?

    Error message when you try to install updates from the Windows Update
    Web site or from the Microsoft Update Web site: "0x80240016"


    The above KB article suggests that you Stop and Start the Windows Update
    service. Although I fail to see how that resolves the issue, suggest you
    first give it a shot.
