Update KB5050009 not installing.

Anonymous

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 I did the same thing with installing files individually, got the same error. Then i went to advanced options and attempted to just wipe it clean with user files and i was stuck on retry for repair and not the update anymore. Before all that I also wiped out software distribution files and that didn't work. What worked for me was pausing updates and then resuming the updates. Now I don't have updates being stuck on restart.

Same here. I manually downloaded and installed KB505009 but windows update keeps trying to download and install it and then fails. Already tried the pause updates for 1 week and windows still fails to detect it's already installed.

Some reboots and other update later I can acknowledge working of this workaround. Actually Windows Update doesn´t need a reboot.
