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.
As per my previous - bite the bullet and do a clean new build. Pain - but better than no PC....
Interesting, although mine seems OK ref above, I was wondering how long they would let you pause.

30 days, then you MUST update to be able to pause again. Huge PITA.
I've been rebuilding mine as well. All mine are Win 10 pro, so I've disabled updates via GPEDIT until I can get to them.

Ever since this started happening my machine has been shutting down randomly every week or couple of days. I've run hardware tests and Core Temp to check for overheating but all is well. The last thing I see in the event logs is BITS (part of update) running and I'm guessing the shutdown might have something to do with update. Below is the unexpected shutdown events. Notice it started happening at the end of June '22 which seems to correlate with when Microsoft's update failures began. I looked at when the shutdown happens and its a lot of Fridays and Wednesdays (update?). I checked the scheduler and there's nothing in particular that jumps out.
