Hi. On the latest update of Windows 10 20h2, I could not install the update mentioned in the subject line. I did the trouble shooter, but no joy. then I tried the standalone package, no joy. then, I tried to use my windows entrprise cd to reset windows and it said sorry, we could not determine if your pc could run windows 10. This is a brand new computer, but I did put my previous cwindows that I had on the new computer.

How could Iinstall this update or do the windows reset?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I too have the same problem. I have installed the "2021-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5005565)" update nearly 15 times.

    Every time it completes 100% and after some time its shows error message stating that the update could not be installed.

    After I restart my laptop it again downloading the update and does the same repeatedly.

    Microsoft needs to fix it or remove this update from the server. This is becoming a daily nuisance and irritating.

    After many days with the very same problems, I tried to follow every piece of advice found on the web related to this issue. Nothing worked.
    My problem was very simple at the end as upon the reinstallation of Edge all was fixed and I was able to complete the update installation which ended all every previous time with a failure at around 92% after having restarted the PC. The same was reported by user MarcSJV. Great!

    same issue here

    Dell 3450, TWO IDENTICAL machines, one had successful update, other keeps failing.

    reinstalled edge, still fails.

    THIS IS INSANE. and more imporetantly, the only error is IT FAILED. There should be other descriptive info as to WHY it failed.

    ANY continued help appreciated, i will follow this thread

    Microsoft needs to get its act together.

    and we are going to yet rely on windows 11??

    we bought these TWO IDENTICAL MACHINES within the past month ! they are NEW machines, not older technology.

    I had a very helpful lady from Microsoft try her best to fix the problem, but she could not. She said the best thing to do would be to wait until the next update came out, which should solve the problem. So it does appear to be a bug in their last update, time will tell.
