Both my Desktop and Laptop are suffering the same problem when attempting to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter. Operating system is Windows 11 24H2 with all updates applied to 11 December 2024 including KB5048667. After going through to the point where the troubleshooter runs, I get "I'm sorry.  I was unable to run the Windows Update diagnostic. I might need to transfer you to an agent to help solve your problem." I've done all the obvious (sfc, DISM) and no problems were found. I'm thinking it must be a generic problem as it happens on both my Windows 11 machines.

    I had to get Microsoft Software Support to help me. They had to uninstall and re-install Windows 11 for me.

    Email and Calendar - Access Denied.

    I enter my password as requested, accept the MS notifications, goes through the whole process then Access Denied appears again, complete with the Enter Password request. Ad nauseam.
