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...
Again, for me, it is near bottom. You download it, run it, then may delete the raw download.
I took it through Windows Update hoping I'd get that "not applicable" message you got the first time. But now I see you had just downloaded the wrong one from the catalog. Anyway, it did install well for me in just 40 minutes all told. Now I hope I can still print as well as I did before. But my taxes are done anyhow
But I don't know how you & fg2001 keep saying it isn't it isn't at the site...
March 18, 2021—KB5001649 (OS Builds 19041.870 and 19042.870) Out-of-band
It's there, but it does come in as an optional, yeah.
Edit: Oops -- The update only lifted me from 19042.867 to ...868. So, strange ...870 is at the site but won't come in through Windows Update. I think I'll just let it alone, as I think fg2001 or you suggested.
When the KB5001649 update was first released, I tried to download it via Windows Update, and it was then that I was receiving an error message and I tried multiple times but it would just fail each time.
The manual installation that I tried, however, worked perfectly (once I downloaded the correct version, careless me). So it must have been a server issue, which I heard elsewhere too.
Glad to hear it finally worked from Windows Update, seems to have taken longer to fix the issue that it should have. Good you've got your taxes done!
All the best,
Peter
Haha good luck with your taxes, friend! I hope it all works out okay!
It is quite unfortunate how Windows overall is a great OS but just has so many issues with it Eg. Windows Update, Microsoft Store etc.
Yes! I am definitely glad it didn't try to install the wrong version XD
All the best,
Peter
Best to you as well. Right, plenty of issues, no doubt, or why would these quality updates keep flocking in with usually a thousand issues "addressed" each. Still, I've taken them all & the feature updates from Win 8.1 to Win 10 20H2 too, & I'm still standing. OK, a couple of times things were a tad precarious. But glad to see you've survived as well. OK, good luck. Keep it going.
