Good day,
I have attempted numerous times to install windows update 2021-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5004237) on my system. It fails regardless of the various command to shut down and restart services. The error code is: 0x80073712
When I went to the Windows Catalog, this version would not load. It said that it was not for my system. What is attempting to load is a different version of KB5004237, but that too failed.
Is there a way to fix or bypass this update?
Thank you

It's very frustrating.
I'm trying from beginning of July 2021 to install ANY KB in my PC (Windows 10 Pro).
The error is always the same: some files are missing.
I'm not going to reinstall the OS because it's a nonsense. In MS there is none able to find the bug of these upgrades?
Very disappointed.
Try my blog post for help, had the same thing with Windows Server 2016:
hxxp://micoolpaul.com/2021/08/18/workaround-kb5005043-security-update-august-2021-wont-install-on-windows-server-2016/
Yeah I noticed a an update with the same name but a different date and KB (KB5005033) installed fine
Its 100% not corruption of the OS unless every single install of the OS on different computers are corrupt.
I can't worry about this housekeeping when I'm doing important work with the system. Waste of my time and puts my project at risk.
