Download error - 0x80040154 2025-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5055523)

Anonymous

Tough one for me, thanks for any and all help!

New PC and Windows 11 install

Windows 11 Home

Version 24H2

OS build 26100.2894 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.36.0

Busy at work and took me weeks to migrate files and reinstall programs on new PC.

No problems with new system, everything running and no crashes.

Saw some windows update fails in March but antivirus and drivers were all updating so ignored.

Noticed repeated update fails this month

Download error - 0x80040154

Stupidly dug in this time and much increased confusion and concern from common recommendations.

Removed all hardware, no programs running same results.

Manual attempt at update from Windows catalog standalone runs but returns

"This update is not applicable to your computer. check the documentation to find out if you need to install another update first"

Possible I'm missing an update that is hanging the new ones, but can't figure out how to sort that.

Windows Update troubleshooter returns

"The Windows Update diagnostic failed to run" **** and recommends talk to an agent

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth run in admin cmd returns

Version: 10.0.26100.1150

Image Version: 10.0.26100.2894

The component store cannot be repaired.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth run in admin cmd returns

Version: 10.0.26100.1150

Image Version: 10.0.26100.2894

Error: 0x80040154

Class not registeredSFC /ScanNow run in admin cmd returns

Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.

Fix problems using Windows Update "This option is currently unavailable"

Go back "This option is no longer available on this PC"

Any other way to repair Win 11 to avoid redoing all programs, drivers, and files?

I'm stumped.

@JChill:

It's fixed. The original issue was caused by an incomplete installation of the LCU/SSU update. It's now rectified.

You can revert to the previous state (from clean boot to normal startup) if you wish.

Please run the fixlist below.

fixlist.txt

Post fixlog.txt.

That should resolve the issue in most cases.

Restart Windows and launch "optionalfeatures.exe" to test.

Win update auto started and has

KB5054979 as pending restart

KB5055523 as pending restart

Have to go into work now, should I try clean boot install at this point or try the windows update again?

Thanks

Ok. Restart Windows and see if the updates install correctly.

If they do, there is no need to perform a clean boot or run the ISO.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today, my timezone is UTC +8.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to assist, I need to check the Windows update logs of the PC so that we can point out what is the root cause of the issue, can you share the Windows 10 Deployment Upgrade Process Logs of the PC, by following the steps below:

Open File Explorer and navigate:

C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther

or

C:$Windows.~WS\Sources\Panther

Copy the Setupact.log and setuperr.log then save them to another location like Desktop or Documents.

Then please upload it to Cloud storage like OneDrive or any cloud storage you are using and please share the shareable link here.

To upload and share the link using OneDrive:

Go to this link: https://onedrive.live.com/ then upload the file.

Then provide the shareable link by following the steps from this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/shar...

Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

Bernard
