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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I've got this same issue with Server 2025 - just one server out of several dozen, and it's not clear why this one only is affected.
It's normally updated through WSUS. As the update was failing, I disapplied the WSUS GPO and tried updating it direct from the Microsoft update servers. Same error. Tried clearing the update cach. Same error. Tried downloading the standalone installer. Yep, same error!
Also tried pausing and resuming updates - that doesn't work either!
Yes, please fix these two updates: KB5050577 (Installing - 0%), KB5050094 (Downloading - 0%). I have restarted several times. I have not tried multiplicity of fixes given above, as later posts indicate they do not work without significant "hacking".
I had the same issue. For me, the problem was solved by resetting Windows Update. From PowerShell prompt as local Administrator:
- Run to check if Windows Update service is running:
Get-Service -Name wuauserv- Stop the service:
Get-Service -Name wuauserv | Stop-Service -Force- Delete all content of the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\
del C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\ -Recurse -Force- Restart Windows Update service:
Start-Service -Name wuauserv- Go to Windows Update and check for new updates. It should work now abeit download was very slow. Be patient!

All replies that suggest resetting Windows Update, doing SFC check or similar are not working for me.
Still must check that in-place upgrade repair option.
Hi... I was having this very same problem for the past 24 hours. I tried everything sugested by the good people on here, but nothing seemed to work. After countless failed attempts to retry download and re-install, I tried to download the update manualy and use the standalone installer. This also failed.
I then went into my bios to see if I might need to update it, I didn't need to as I have the latest bios for my motherboard, but I happened to notice that the PTT had been disabled by something and my TPM was not working. I enabled PTT, checked TPM was enabled and working before going back in to windows and hey presto the update downloaded and installed without a problem. So if you're having this issue it may help you to check the status of your TPM. I hope that this might help people while accepting there could be any number or reasons for this update failing to update your computers. Alan
That did not help in my case. TPM is active.
