WIN 11 update failing, showing error 0x800705b4

Yes I am also having the same issue too

Please see if resetting Windows Update using this batch file fixes the issue:

https://gist.github.com/winhelponline/af9296c106448a664a6229d8146a85fd

1. Download the zip file and extract the batch file to the desktop.
2. Right-click on the batch file and click Properties, click "Unblock" (if present), and OK.
3. Double-click the batch file to run it.
4. After it completes execution, don't close it yet.
5. Right-click on that Command Prompt window, click "Edit" and click "Select all"
6. Right-click on that Command Prompt window, click "Edit" and click "Copy"

   (This copies the output to the clipboard.)

7. Paste the info (Ctrl + V) into your reply window.

This did not solve the problem. When the program was completed there was no command prompt, it only said to use any key to continue. I used the space bar but that only repeated the line "press any key to continue". I then used the enter key and it closed the command prompt window and the program so I don't have anything to send to you. Also, I now notice that Windows 11 does not recognize me as an administrator even though I am listed as an administrator using the netplwiz program. I think that is part of the problem. At any rate, I cannot download and install a windows update from Intel that was downloaded using the Windows Update app. If you have any other suggestions, please advise.

Here is the result of the program.

The Windows Update service is stopping.

I hope this helps with solving the issue.

The services are starting correctly.

What's the error code you're seeing? Is it 0x800705b4 (same as the OP?)

Can you try these offline installers?

First, install the checkpoint update: https://catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/d8b7f92b-bd35-4b4c-96e5-46ce984b31e0/public/windows11.0-kb5043080-x64_953449672073f8fb99badb4cc6d5d7849b9c83e8.msu

Then, install KB5050009: https://catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/66557ecc-650e-4c70-8baf-c624c4de912f/public/windows11.0-kb5050009-x64_97aac2ab4f607b11d50ad2fd88a5841ee0b18dd5.msu

(If the 1st one says it does not apply to your system, run the 2nd one.)
