Can't install KB5005565 update

Hello,

I'm running Windows 10, version 21H1 on a PC Desktop. I never had a problem installing updates until now. Now when I try installing Update KB5005565, it says it installed 100%, then gives me an error "Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x8007000d)". I've tried running the update troubleshooter and it said it couldn't detect any problems. I rebooted the computer and tried to install it again, but I keep getting the same error. Has anyone else ran into this problem?

    Glad it worked for you too! I was skeptical about what I'd loose by running the media tool, but was rather surprised at how well it worked, with only a couple of side effects. I was pleasantly surprised at how well and how easy running the tool was. Was actually a lot less brain damage than trying to circumvent the problem!

    After endless try-and-errors, encouraged by the success report of the few braves here (Thank you all!)

    I downloaded from the mentioned MS site the MediaCreationTool21H1.exe

    I run the update

    I chose

    • inplace update (something like this)
    • keep files and apps

    The tool

    • downloaded the necessary files
    • (re)installed the updates
    • restarted my (HP ProBook) laptop two or three times

    Waiting long the tool to finish, I worried about if I have to reinstall all the stuff or not... ;-)

    But everything went smooth, at the end, I could log in, and everything was in its previous place! :-)

    I run the Windows Update finally, and everything got installed smoothly!

    My system is up-to-date.

    Same problem since July: can't install 21H2 neither manually via cumulative update nor via windows update. Tried all possible troubleshooting methods:

    dism, sfc, scandisk, delete windows update repository, uninstalling edge and a few more I don't remember.

    Download the media creation tool. This is the only one that worked for me. I tried everything you did to no avail but the MEDIA CREATION TOOL did its work. Hope this helps you too.

    Here's the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

    Click on Download Tool Now button

    And do what with the media creation tool? When you say "install it" how far are you going through the process in the app?

    Just follow the instructions. It will download necessary updates for you. Please make sure it says keep personal files and apps. It took a long time for me but it did its job.

    Thanks, maybe I should just install Windows 11.... heh. Curious to see what it's about.
