Update for Windows Security platform - KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2109.27002)

Using procmon from SysInternals I saw that it tried to write to C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth using my logged in account. By giving my account Modify permissions to that folder the update went fine.

To give myself Modify permissions, I had to first set myself as owner of the folder. After the update had successfully been applied I I removed my write permissions and set SYSTEM as owner again.

Didn't work for me unfortunately (created local system account as an Administrator, changed ownership of that folder & its contents to my userid, exited all the File Explorer screens, tried the update again - still failed - restarted laptop - still failed). Ah well. reversed out all my changes and will wait for MSoft to fix the bad patch....

AMAZING! I've tried almost everything to get rid of this stupid message and you were 100% on target with this. Changed the owner and update installed fine. Thank you SO much! Exceptional research on your part.

could you please guide us step by step?

thx

创建了新的本地账号，已经得到解决。

I had the problem too and it was fixed by changing permissions. That being said, something didn't sit right with me about it. Did some digging. The problem was happening on a VM so I rolled the snapshot back after doing the manual permissions fix.

Turns out this particular KB doesn't like installing using the built-in administrator account. Created a new admin account and it installed just fine.
