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.

    This fixed the issue for me! thank you so much.

    Just to clarify, it fixed the "pending restart" issue for me.

    Try to Uninstall the KB5050009 Update manually. Then try to install manually the X64 files.

    Seriously? Run unknown bat file, is this safely?

    The batch file's contents are published on that link, a reputed site run by a very longtime MS-MVP.

    3 years have passed since publication

    That doesn't matter. The procedure for resetting WU has always been the same all these years.

    Here are the official steps if you want to reset it manually. Ignore the regsvr32.exe part; they don't work in Windows 10 and 11.
