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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Ridiculous amount of stuff to go through. For some reason 5882 installed easily and 5814 still wants to install. Even after shutting off Malewarebytes and Framework. Getting Framework back up and running was a long waste of time. Thinking the next computer will be a Mac.
Last step is important 🙂
Ended up facing the same issues although I had a little more adventure in Safe Mode. Using the SHIFT-RESTART method, when I got to the SAFE MODE selection screen, my Razer Huntsman Elite keyboard wasn't registering keypresses. Should've just gone straight to the msconfig method instead of unplugging the keyboard and removing several of my cables off the neatly bundled up cables management.
In either case, I've finally managed to update to KB5015882.
Here's my prcoess.
Likewise I unchecked the net.framework boxes and shut off Malwarebytes. After a couple restarts it had installed the latest Win update KB5015882.
But then I couldn't get net.frameword started again and the 4.8 framework wasn't available in in Windows features, Got the same crazy message when trying to manually install net.f 3.5. Finally, the stars aligned and got framework installed, then 4.8 made an appearance and got that working. Total agreement, about updates shouldn't take hour of nonsense to get them installed. MS is the best advertisement for Apple.
This really sucked for me. I had to fully turn off the malwarebytes, as well as turning it off on startup, then restart PC.
Then I had to turn off the .Net options from the windows features, but this was a catch 22. I couldn't do this because when I tried, I would receive an error message stating "catastrophic failure". The error code seemed to be indicated a pending update waiting for PC to restart, but even after restarting the PC this would keep happening. In order to resolve this part, I had to delete the pending.xml file from my C:\Windows\WinSxS folder; this part wasn't straightforward either as the file was locked by Windows itself. I had to launch safe mode, terminate the BITS and Windows updates services, then right click on the winsxs folder to asssign myself edit access under the security tab in order to delete the file. Only then was I able to restart and successfully turn off the .net features in order to restart again and successfully do the windows updates.
I don't think ordinary windows users would be able to do all of this, and hope windows fixes this.
