yeah, no, this is another untested microsoft patch that you push on people and now see thousands are having this issue dont do what he says wait til they fix this or wait until next month when the fix is in the full first tuesday update

I don't know what's worst of the following truths: Microsoft releases untested updates with amazing regularity. Microsoft won't quit screwing up Edge with unneeded and unwanted features. The "experts" trying to help just gave the same worthless answers for everything. Microsoft constantly tries to force you into logging in with a microsoft account. I DON"T WANT ONE!

This is the canned answer to all update errors and 90% of the time it does not work. I have multiple Windows 10 PCs and the update is failing on all of them. You have a corrupt update that needs to be withdrawn until you fix it. I get development timelines, but QA should always catch install problems like this. Especially, since this is a high priority security update for those that are using bit locker on their drives. This is an amateur mistake. Get it fixed!

These are correct steps to take and have solved other update issues for me. However, there is another necessary step to try before resorting to the in-place upgrade, and that's clearing the update cache and forcing a fresh download of failing updates. Here is a link, scroll down to Seema-Bharti's post. how to clear windows update cache - Microsoft Community This has help me with other updates. However, none of these steps are helping today with KB5034441. From the system log: Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200B: 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441). Keep in mind, if enough people are having trouble with an update, Microsoft usually supersedes it with a working update fairly quickly (that's the case where clearing cache and redownloading seems to be most helpful). I'll wait for a couple weeks before resorting to an upgrade in-place.
