    It's just bizarre that, after all these years, we're forced to google an arcane hexadecimal failure code for Windows updates.

    I've been using both Windows and Linux since they were created. I have never had a stock Linux distro just fail to upgrade in that time, but I've run into this recurring problem with windows at least once on half a dozen systems.

    I have two VMs, both Win 11, which I use for testing. They have no software installed. I simply update them to the latest updates, and if I do install any 3rd party software I revert the snapshot later. One of them updated fine today, and one of them is now throwing this stupid error. Resetting all the directories, checking the system, etc. has done nothing to improve the situation.

    Why Microsoft hasn't made an updater that actually fixes the problems itself is beyond me. Please tell me why it can't at least tell us what it was doing when the failure occurred.

    <rant off>

    Well, I'm off to re-build the VM from scratch... because I've already wasted 2 hours trying to fix something Microsoft could have at least written to give a more descriptive error.

    This solution worked, but it's frustrating that one has to do then when the internal troubleshooter of the OS should have caught this and fix it automatically, not to mention the audit trail questions and loss of good man hours hunting this down and applying a fix manually like this.
