Hi Johnny,
I found another workaround to clear the W.U. loop and error 0xc1900401 without waiting.
I change the time set from automatic to manual, back 2 days on the date and reboot, next W.U. check for update runs clean and also the errors that were logged in update history just disappear.
I then set the date back to automatic and get the correct date and time again and reboot, the loop with W.U. and the errors are magically gone. π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
The update to 22610 does not show in the history since it was done with the ISO.

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 22H2
Installed on β5/β1/β2022
OS build 22610.1
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22632.1000.0
....
It sure shows in history on the one that was upgraded by W.U.
It is still an annoying bug; we should not have to wait or use workarounds to fix something they just screwed up with W.U.
We have done updates and upgrades with ISO for years without any of this B.S. π

Reproduced again on a different machine:

Fixed it with the same workaround, putting date back two days reboot check for updates cleared the error, then set date back to automatic, reboot, problem gone, and error cleared from history. ππ€£
