    Hi Mike,

    I am sorry because I cann't help you solve the problem. I am still waiting for Microsoft to solve this problem.

    I am so fed up with Windows 11. I never had a problem with Windows 10.

    Yours sincerely

    Hi,

    I had the same problem. I first deactivated Malwarebytes but this did not resolve the problem. I then turned off .Net 3.5 and restarted my device. Then installed the 2002-07 Cumulative update KB 5015814 for Windows 11 via Check for updates and IT WORKED !! It took longer to download and install than usual but IT WORKED. I then reactivated .NET 3.5 and Malwarebytes.

    For me it sounds it was a problem with .Net 3.5 since deactivating Malwarebytes only did not do the job.

    I hope it helps others.

    Finally! A fix that actually worked for me!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    I tried to do exactly the same, but nothing has been changed. I think Microsoft technicians are responsible for this trouble and must fix it.

    Tried this fix, but system will not complete the install of KB5015882 without failure. Same code as the previous 15 tries, 0X80073701. Doesn't matter if Malwarebytes is disabled or not, nor that the Net 3.5 is disabled. Bottom line, nothing I have found within the community nor under Window's knowledge base (on-line) have cured the issue.
