I have tried to update to 2025-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5050009) but i get the (Install error - 0x80070306)

I have restarted and shut down my computer multiple times to see if that would fix it but it didn't. I've also tried re-installing the update as well.

Please let me know what i can do to.

    So the manual installer says that update is installed. But Windows Update requires restart. I've done it several times but nothing has changed. It still requires restart...

    I faced the same problem however I have had this problem back in 23H2 version.
    The fix is pretty simple, you go to the settings, updates, in the bottom tabs there is "Pause updates for 1 week" Once you press it, you have to click on Resume updates and it scans the current version by verifying that you already have the KB5050009 Update installed and the issue is fixed.

    If your PC was running Windows 10 previously and you did update it without performing clean installation with removing everything (including partitions)
    Most probably your recovery partition is too small to run updates above 500 Megabytes (Since back in the days the updates were not larger than 500 Megabytes and as of today, they can reach up to 600 Megabytes). If that's the case you should extend the recovery partition size up to 642 Megabytes.

    https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5050009

    Download from this link, install the x64 one. 1 will give you an error and another will work.
 Then just reboot and that's it. I just did it and it worked for me.
