Windows 11 Cumulative Update not downloading and installing.

Window 11 Update Would NOT Download and Install October 2022's Cumulative Update. Period.

I ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter but it was useless.

I tried everything outlined in this post, including reinstalling Windows 11 - nothing worked.

Then I found the solution listed on "the Droid Guy.com" website. This Worked!

Everything has now downloaded and installed and my computer is completely up to date.

The solution is as follows:

1. Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open RUN dialog box.
2. At RUN dialog box, type**“services.msc”** and press Enter key or click OK to open Services section.
3. At Services window, find the Windows Update service. These are arranged alphabetically, to easily find services that you are looking for.
4. Right click on Windows Update and selectStopfrom the drop down menu.
5. PressWindows key + E on your keyboard to open File Explorer section.
6. At file explorer section, navigate to your installation folder, it is usually on your Drive C, Windows Folder, SoftwareDistribution folder.
7. Click DataStore folder, highlight everything inside the folder. Right click and choose Delete from the drop down menu.
8. Return to the SoftwareDistribution folder, click on Download folder to open it. Highlight everything inside the folder. Right click and choose Delete from the drop down menu.
9. Press Windows Key + Ron your keyboard to open RUN dialog box.
10. At RUN dialog box, type**“services.msc”** and press Enter or click OK to open Services section.
11. At Services window, find the Windows Update again.
12. Right click on Windows Update and select Start from the drop down menu.
13. Download and install windows update and then Check if Windows Update Error issue still occurs.

hey

I'm having the same problem which is the Windows 11 Cumulative both of the Updates not downloading and installing and i did the repair install. which was

and the image of my window update not working ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/b39857b1-c925-4494-8260-95449e1187aa?platform=QnA

It seems this problem of Windows Update been unable to install Security Cumulative files is constant all widespread.

Any solution don't works. My files are not corrupted, rename the cumulative files doesn't work, the troubleshooting tools are useless. And using the reinstall solution as the last "desperate solution" is absurd. Microsoft must address this problem asap.

I have DOZENS of Cumulative Update failed since march, 2022! All other type of update goes perfectly. Please, we need an effective solution at short time. PLEASE.

Tysm and Microsoft support is dumb

Same broooo also Microsoft support is completely useless, trust me, if there is a solution is wont be here. I use a good GPU and CPU and my computer is acting like a used work computer from 2010 and I can't play any games due to LITERALLY 5 FPS on a machine I would get over 300. This is BS and it needs to be fixed or I'm going back to Windows 10.
