Now KB5015814 won't install

OK. I tried to run updates today, 7/12. I got the exact error and reactions as when I tried to install KB5015814 that I got for the KB5014668 failure last month.

I ran scripts, tried a lot of advisor recommendations and did the in place upgrade (but rolled it back) for KB5014668 so who knows what was changed or broken then????

Does anyone have something that WILL work this time? I really don't want to spend 5 or 6 hours and get no where again.

Will an in place upgrade work or will restoring an image from before June 22 be a better option. I don't want to do that unless it's a last option.

Please don't have me run the canned things to correct an update error. It didn't work last time so I really would like something that is known to work if that is at all possible.

Thanks.

edited..... 3 other updates did install without issue:

Intel SoftwareComponent 2130.1.15.0

Security Intelligence Update KB2267602

Malicious Software Removal Tool KB890830

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    As I have written above KB5014668 installed without issue.

    KB5015814 does not. Manual installation of KB5015814 as I have written above ALSO did not install.

    The general fixes for Windows Update are not indicated if it's installing any Updates.

    Instead let's find the specific fixes for those Updates starting with the two I gave you in my last post. Have you all tried those? How about the Manual install? This works about half the time, can even solve bottlenecks.

    If you're browsing this and an IT Pro working with an organization the issues are differently handled than here in this strictly-consumer forum. I would ask at our sister forums for IT Professionals, Q&A forums here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/answers/index.... as Microsoft Community is strictly an end-consumer forum.

    There are also equally good (and sometimes busier) IT Pro forums here:

    I hope it helps.

    I could install KB5014668 (Was not offered to me last month on system I installed it on)...No problem installing that...

    But still cannot install KB5015814 on that same system. Have not tried on the other problem systems.

    BTW, one of the systems that won't install KB5015814 is a new HP Windows 11 Laptop (TPM, Secure Boot) purchased a month ago...

    This isn't a fix... but if you didn't try to install the optional KB5014668 at the end of June, that had the same problem and in my thread on that one, some people were able to install it with great difficulty and some couldn't. But now, some think that if you can install KB5014668, then this one will install. It's a long thread but if you didn't try to install it, this is that thread. Can't install KB5014668 - Microsoft Community I'm not saying to install it but it seems to be the same problem so this might be the first time some are seeing it. No one seems to know what the common thread is that is causing this problem.

    Hopefully an authorized MS fix will be forthcoming in the near future.

    I, too, am having this problem on all three of my Windows 11 computers with both the Windows Update and the standalone installer. The update gets to 100% and then says it failed. I have run DISM and SFC to no avail.

    One thing that I have noticed on two of the three machines is that if BITS is set to automatic and running when the update starts, it is reset to manual and off when it fails. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, but it did seem a bit quirky.
