Already installed 2021-10 .NET 5.0.11 Security Update for Windows 11 for x64 Client tries and fails

I am getting Install Error - 0x80070643 on Windows 11 (22000.348). The update [2021-10 .NET 5.0.11 Security Update for Windows 11 for x64 Client (KB5007051)] is already installed. It downloaded the update successfully this evening. Retry results with the same error.

I tried Trouble shoot > Update wizard. It indicated it corrected an error without any specifics. But it did not resolve the problem.

I encountered the same problem on a Windows 10 computer last month or so. I saw on the forum that it was a Microsoft Update Catalog bug. Recommendation was to be patient at the time. The problem disappeared after few days by itself.

Thanks for any help.

I once saw a posting that indicated that MS has a tool (which can be downloaded) to stop specific updates coming up (again and again). I would appreciate it much if somebody has information about it and can share with us.

The MS tool to disable specific updates goes by the name wushowhide and can be downloaded from here: https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

    .Net Framework repair tool and check if that helps.

    I uninstalled all but the required SDKs, runtimes for VS 22

    the check for updates still shows the same update(s) available and install fails. It is odd that even after uninstalling 5.0.11 and the 3.1.20 check for updates still shows 2 updates.

    I tried that but it didn't help.

    I had tried all the trouble shooting recommendations and when they didn't work I got into MS chat. When I told him everything I did, he gave me a link to download the ISO for Windows 11. He said that will fix the problem. It didn't.

    But I'm getting that the consensus is that it is an MS problem. I shall wait...
