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.
I have a Dell Precision M4700; i7 quad core; Win 10 x64; standard OS and OEM partitions; upgraded from Win7; Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller. I have an external USB drive plugged in. Not sure if that makes a difference. Drivers and bios are up to date.
Cross posting this find. Its interesting that a change of the MS NVMe driver fixed the problem, temporarily at least. StorNVMe (stornvme. sys) is the system-supplied storage miniport driver that provides access to high-speed NVMe devices. Windows won't boot without it.
Feature Update to 22H2- same thing here. It went correctly at first, showing the progress by percent. Then I came back some hours later to find the now familiar black screen and circling dots. Same procedure to recover: double hard reset and automatic repair. Once I got into it, the update history showed that it "Failed to install on 28/10/2022 - 0x800f0845".
Virtual machines are doing the same thing.
Windows 10 x64 in virtualbox, VBOX Harddisk, standard SATA AHCI Controller.
