Windows 10 22H2, KB5016616, KB5017308, KB5017380, KB5018410, KB5019959, KB5021233 hang on reboot after install

Anonymous

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.

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.

Hi gabrielmaldi,

if you have original 21H2 release (with no updates), it is impossible to install Windows cumulative update in 5 minutes.
Your problem is propably not with updates. but with drivers, that get updated immediately after internet is connected.

You can try to look inside C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. There will be few file without extension.
Just add .CAB to them and propably after simple opening them, you will see driver installation files.

Try to disable automatic driver installation - Run sysdm.cpl (System properties) - Hardware - Device installation settings - NO
before you connect the internet to PC.

Hi, everyone. I'm having the same problem on an old touchscreen POS-intended all-in-one PC. Fresh-installed Windows 10 from a bootable USB, formatting the hard drive. Intel Celeron J1900 64 bits, 2 GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (19044.1288).

I read through the whole thread and nothing has worked yet. Even though I disabled Windows updates using gpedit.msc, as soon as I connect the USB adapter which provides WiFi to the PC (since it has no WiFi antenna), after 5 minutes the computer just crashes with no information and I have to go through the process of booting twice until I can do a System Restore.

Just chiming in and waiting to see if a solution is made available.

Thanks!

Still fails but more info. After the above cleaning I did a check for updates and sure enough KB2267602 (defender signature update) shows up. I'm convinced that this KB is used to send all defender signature updates because its versioned. Another look at the .etl logs shows something interesting. Update keeps trying to install a version of KB2267602 that has signature version 1.375.572.0; each time the same version. I already have version 1.375.584.0 from 9/18/22 installed. Im concluding that KB5016616 and KB5017308 have an old version of the defender signature file. I don't know if that's the problem but it keeps trying to install it. Here's the logs:
```
Deserialized installable update Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.375.572.0), UpdateID = {EA3EC620-E14D-4AF0-B697-30DD5595DFDA.200}, CallbackInfo cookie length = 0" 
```
Info="Downloading from http://au.download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/software/defu/2022/09/am_delta_patch_1.375.529.0_274a4c8e16466d2b3ec7f036aeab991c8ed312d0.exe to C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\aefff227346bec0a02d732bcdac0dda9\274a4c8e16466d2b3ec7f036aeab991c8ed312d0 (full file)"

To see what version signature you have go to the Security Center and check for updates. Its on the update check page.

So clearing the defender definitions did not work. KB5017308 still tries installing the defender update 3 times before the 1st reboot and 6 times after the recover reboot. I have 3 log files, one after running the install before the reboot, an empty one which I assume is the aborted attempt and one after the repair. And KB2267602 is not available from the MS Catalog site to try a manual install.

It would be good to know if anyone else is seeing this.
