I'm trying to update to the latest Win10 update released on 8/8/22. Ever since that update was downloaded the machine hangs
on the required reboot after the install. I have disabled updates until I can find a fix. I've tried to download the update and install
manually but get the same results. Other updates, such as .NET, download and installed fine. Once the machine hangs it has to be rebooted
2 times to get to the automatic roll back. At least that works for now. I've run the Update trouble shooter and it doesn't fix anything.
Windows Update and BITS services are both set to automatic.
There is an error in the event log but I think its from the install abort from a forced shutdown.
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0845: 2022-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5016616).
Update 10/5/22: KB-5017308, KB5017380, KB5018410 also FAIL in exactly the same manner as KB-5016616. Spinning dots on the reboot and the need to do a dual boot auto recovery. Title has been updated.
Any help would be appreciated.
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.
For me, the following solved the Problem:
Delete the Value data (all bytes) of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\Policy\Secrets\NL$KM\CurrVal(Default)
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\Policy\Secrets\NL$KM\OldVal(Default)
One reboot and CurrVal(Default) should be filled again.
If you are not domain-joined, i would not expect any problems.
I'm not giving directions on how to access and delete the value data because i want skilled people who know what they are doing to test my solution.
And in reply to Glezbsg re KB5017858
I had a successful KB5017658, according to my trail build log. My typo or yours?
This is what is waiting to be installed.
2022-09 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64 (KB5017858)
I have a new update waiting. Has anyone who has the update problem installed KB5017858?

I have been following this post since the outset. I would say that you are correct in assuming there is no resolution at this time, only mitigation. To deal with the 2nd part of your question; there is no suggestion that Microsoft has even recognised that the problem exists. I would not hold your breath waiting for a resolution.
So, having the same issue with KB5017308 update (endless spinning dots after reboot etx) like a months ago, tried it now - same thing.
Read and tried some easiest recommendations on how to fix it like windows update troubleshooter, clearing Software Distribution folder, manual download and installation- nothing helped.
And before going any deeper into this... I wonder, did anyone find a solid fix for this? It seems people just consider to block this update or all updates at all for time being.
Will microsoft fix this at all? Or will pretend that everything is fine?
