    It might be a corrupted DNS cache. If you flushed the cache and/or restarted the computer and found the issue fixed, then that might explain why the restart worked (a restart would flush the DNS). That, however, might not fully explain why many others have been having this problem for days or even weeks. Because, even if/when you don't restart your system, the DNS cache would be flushed after 24 hours anyway at the latest. So, there might be more than one thing going on here. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Oops, I meant Hard Stop or Shutdown. Then I restarted my computer. Hold the Power button for over 10 seconds until the pc shuts down. Then restart the pc. This worked for me.

    Please, can someone from MS look into it? I need to have all updates, because my system is my working system.

    no, already tried

    that is not the issue

    What did solve this part of the issue for me was to create and iso image of that update and then mount it and run it.

    That cured the errors with the 24h2 install

    However, the 24h2 update has caused issues with lan manager and LAN browse lists which are not resolved

    I have an open ticket with MS about that issue
