Question

Hi Team,

We are facing issues with windows patch deployment Windows update "Security Update for Windows (KB5039212)" could not be installed because of error 2148468767 error for multiple patches and machines. We already tried OS repair solutions like chkdsk,SFC and other apps cleanup.

Answer 1

Hello,

This issue has been reported by other users and may be caused by some kind of error Windows Update encountered during installation. We can clear out Windows Update and force it to reevaluate:

Choose Start and type "cmd". Open Command Prompt as admin. Enter these lines at a time:

net stop bits

net stop wuauserv

net stop appidsvc

net stop cryptsvc

ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start bits

net start wuauserv

net start appidsvc

net start cryptsvc

Then, close the command prompt window and restart.
