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.
None of us experienced the BSD. I think you are fighting a different problem.
Didn't work for me (pro not domained but with WU group policy to notify before downloading)
Deleted the keys, unhid KB5021233 gave same bluescreen reboot loop. Had to get it to safemode for it to uninstall update.
Will be keeping KB5021233 blocked.
Now does hiding updates using the wushowhide cab cause the pause update tab to reach the pause limit? Or maybe something to do with gpolicy?
Just to confirm -- two of my three systems are successfully updated to the December cumulative update. One system was a laptop running Windows 10 Pro. The other was an all-in-one running Windows 10 Home. The third system is in Poland and will get updated the next time I'm over there.
I used the same procedure on both systems: ran regedit with administrative privileges, raised the permissions in regedit, rebooted regedit, ran it again in privilieged mode, found the offending curval and oldval entries, deleted both, rebooted the system and everything is moving forward fine.
I don't think it's anything to do with HOME. My laptop is Home. Exactly the same behaviour re Regedit / SECURITY as described in my post of 7/1 as Pro on my desktop, as a vanilla W10 method to implement inf001's solution..
Yes, Right to be very careful in Regedit, but not crazy. Follow our 2 posts...
