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.

    Inplace upgrade is the only working solution so far for most of the cases. For me it was the only working solution too.

    Yeah, looks like you are right! I left it until after Patch Tuesday to see if the February cumulative update would resolve it. It didn't, so I downloaded the latest ISO (which appears to include the January patches) and did an 'upgrade' to the same version (Datacentre with desktop). Seems to have worked, and after 'upgrade' it installed the Feb cumulative update with no issues.

    Dear Microsoft,

    Please can you fix this cycle of the Windows updates for 24H2 not installing. The KB5050009 is the second of these updates that refuses to install for a lot of users. Yes we have tried all the hacks to see if we can get it to work.

    Right now my critical machine is rebooting every night and you have disabled the option to pause updates "until the machine is up-to-date".

    Why is the option to repair that sometimes shows up to repair the OS installing the previous revision and not the most recent revision.

    If one of your North American based team that can resolve the issue wants to look at the install logs I'm happy to have a teams call.

    Sorry, I was offline.

    Does the problem persist after the update you informed?
