Hello,

Seems like everyone is facing same issue with this update right now. Try installing ‘KB5001649‘ manually using Update Catalog, see if that works:

If issue still persists, waiting for a while and then installing it may help, as Sumit suggested.

Let me know if this helps!

There were 6 barcodes on those taxes plus other images that looked fine before I ever took these updates. I haven't mailed them in yet to forestall my arrest & imprisonment, & it looks like I've got until May 17 now. Glad you got past that error message. Yep, when it won't come in well from Windows Update, taking it manually is one of the first things to try. In fact, I did have to do that at least once, myself. Good going. And, right, you have to match the one you take to the info at "right-click START, System". You want to match Windows Version, Edition, & Architecture (x64/64-bit or x86/32-bit). Good to know you get an error message otherwise, instead of the wrong one actually installing.

Good luck, & keep us informed. Good going.

Edit: It worked for me through Windows Update on March 21, but to illustrate use of the Catalog...

(1) At "right-click START, System" mine shows: EditionWin 10 Home, Version20H2, & Architecture of 64-bit.

(2) At "START, Settings, Windows Update, Learn more" which is the Windows 10 update history site, I would click the update that failed (KB5001649)...

March 18, 2021—KB5001649 (OS Builds 19041.870 and 19042.870) Out-of-band

(3) Inside that URL, it says to take the SSU (KB4598481) first. Click the link to its description, then click the link to the Microsoft Update Catalog within that one to see...

Mine is near the bottom. It doesn't fully distinguish Edition but Version & Architecture are important.

(3) Then, back in the KB5001649 URL, click its own link to the Microsoft Update Catalog & see...

Image

Again, for me, it is near bottom. You download it, run it, then may delete the raw download.

    I had the same problem, but after reading another post on the same topic suggesting to install the update KB5001649 manually the problem + error code

     was solved. I am from Belgium - Europe. The solution would work worldwide.

    Downloadpage KB5001649  

     Here you can take the version that is right for you, on the right side is the download button. then just follow the instructions and you will be asked 

    to reboot the PC, may take a while but not long, and the problem is solved. You can check this via your windows update

    I am seeing everyone saying to download from the catalog.  I downloaded from the catalog on a few other machines and those installed great and are working.  I am on another system that even from the catalog it wont install.

    I've done DISM commands

    I've done SFC /scannow

    everything is coming back with no errors, besides the error I get when i try and apply the KB5001649.  The error I get is 0x80073701 and it tells me to try back later again.
