The latest update downloads and then fails to install.

  • OS Build # 19045.3930.
  • Update Troubleshoot tool repair but it does not help.
  • MS Windows Update Catalog does not have the update.
  • Other updates all went through without any trouble.

This is a brand new update. Is this a known issue? Is there a resolution specific to this update? (Please do not copy and paste standard procedure)

    My computer DOES NOT HAVE such partition. What are you trying to update? Why can't you check that RE is not installed due to luck of partition???

    I'm not MS and I'm frankly peeved with them aye. They've forgotten so many lessons through arrogance it's just not funny. And the hide to say "it'll fix your problems" however when I ACCIDENTALLY told my Surface Book to go to Win11 (didn't read properly was in a rush at the time) it completely broke the installed system, folders, files, etc back to a revert out of box state. LUCKILY I had set an image using AOMEI and just took a few hours to re image back and update the changes made since imaging.

    So given the Win11 downgrade BROKE my device made from the same arrogant company, I wouldn't trust their bs claim for a moment that it "fixes" anything beyond fixing a **** MS device when it's yeeted across the room in frustration.

    I'm making a path now to look at merging over to Ubuntu as there is just too much going wrong with Microsoft and they REFUSE to listen.

    I also have tried all of the Windows Update troubleshooting tips. No resolution. I was going to try the partition increase until I noticed that the needed partition size is 250 MB. I currently have 500+ MB. So, I see no need to be going through a disk partition exercise when I already have twice the amount indicated.

    I hate to say it, as I usually give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt, but it looks like the download file must be corrupted. Will wait and give them the requisite two-week project time to locate and correct the issue.

    Given that the security updates can't download, I figure maybe I will download the free security software that comes with my internet, and disable the Microsoft security until the problem is resolved.
