    Hi, good day! I'm John Dev a Windows user like you and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

    This is a known issue right now and there are several reports from other users experiencing the same problem. There is nothing wrong with your Windows and I recommend waiting for Microsoft to offer an easier, automatic solution in the coming days that allows this update to be installed without difficulty. Kindly try pausing updates for 7 days.

    Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

    Kind regards,

    John DeV

    Like an unwitting sub-postmaster I have been struggling with this for days trying all possible fixes. I wonder if Microsoft will apologise (like Fujitsu) and explain what they have done.

    No pausing windows update does not work. it is still WUA seems to still be trying to update for other programs and it continually causes errors. I'm having disconnect and reconnect notifications every few mins. Also saw a message that relates to this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/metadata-staging-failed-result0x80070490-for/73130c25-0414-4925-8368-ee42c731d554 and that Microsoft increased the size of windows recovery which cause systems to crash that have partitions below the new max. Older systems likely don't have disk space on drives available for that increase. This was related to windows 11? the same update process shouldn't be shared for both...

    This is almost making the system unusable with pauses every few minutes locking up the system.
