Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.


Analyzing the CBS log you sent, the error 0x80070002 is occurring specifically because the installer cannot access or process the input.inf file (which is the generic driver for keyboards and mice).

2026-04-24 19:49:40, Info CBS Doqe: Recording result: 0x80070002, for Inf: input.inf

This type of failure, where a system file "disappears" or access is denied during the update, is frequently caused by external interference.

Therefore, to be able to assist you better, please clarify the following:

Do you have a third-party antivirus installed? If yes, which one?

Also. What is the current "OS Build" of your Windows 11?

  • Press "Windows + R", type winver, and click OK.

If you prefer, share a screenshot. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

Be sure to censor your email address if it appears. The Microsoft Q&A is public.


Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Hemant,

  • Download SFCFix.exe by niemiro of Sysnative forums, and save this to your Desktop.
  • Download the file, SFCFix.zip, and save this to your Desktop. Ensure that this file is named SFCFix.zip - do not rename it.
  • On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCFix.zip. Drag the file SFCFix.zip onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it. See illustration image
  • When you see the prompt "Will you allow SFCFix to communicate with Sysnative servers?", type "n" for no. Press Enter to continue.
  • SFCFix will now process the script. It will take some time to complete. Upload the output file SFCFix.txt to your OneDrive.
  • Restart Windows and attempt to install updates.
