Hello,

Error Code 0x800f081f means CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING.

The fastest way to repair is to do a inplace upgrade.

Have you installed a 3rd party Antivirus and/or Firewall Program and Tuning Tools?

When yes, please remove this.

Please use the removal tool of the respective manufacturer of the antivirus or firewall program also.

Hello NOWAY,

I'm Jin, a fellow Windows 10 user and an independent advisor.

I can see that you are an update: KB4566782 keeps on failing to install.

You can start off by running the Windows Update troubleshooter:

https://support.microsoft.com/help/4027322

Run Disk Clean up as well and check if you'll be able to proceed with the update:

https://support.microsoft.com/help/4026616

If that doesn't solve the issue, manually download the update from Microsoft Update Catalog:

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search...

Select the exact update to download and install.

Windows also has a built-in System File Check (SFC), kindly run SFC tool and see if will help with the problem.

1. Run command prompts as administrator.
2. Type the command SFC /SCANNOW then hit Enter.
3. Let the scan complete and it will automatically will fix if there would be any corrupted data.

Please also run the Microsoft Windows Deployment Image Servicing and Management:

https://support.microsoft.com/help/947821

If this doesn't work, you can clear the Windows Update cache before attempting to update your Windows.

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Enter Commands:

net stop wuauserv

net stop bits

3. Press Windows key + R then type the path name:

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

4. Select all of it's contents then right-click and select Delete.
5. Open Command Prompt as Administrator again.
6. Type the commands:

net start wuauserv

net start bits

7. Try updating again.

If you just to stop this update and keep it from trying to install again, you can use the hide and show troubleshooter:

https://support.microsoft.com//help/4026726

As a last resort, use an installation media and use the Windows Repair feature.

https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win...

1. Click the "Download tool now" button.
2. Once downloaded run the MediaCreationTool2004.exe file.
3. Accept the terms.
4. Select Create an installation media, then hit Next.
5. Proceed with the prompts.

Once the installation media is created, double click on the file then on the Windows Setup screen, click on Repair your computer.

I hope this helps.

None of the above solutions worked. I think this should be Microsoft's fault because I tried to install that update to another clean windows machine and get the same error code too.

I'm sorry to hear that none have worked. Does it also include the hide and show troubleshooter? The troubleshooter could prevent that troublesome update to automatically install...

Yes, It says "there are no updates available to hide".
