    Follow these steps to resolve issues installing the Windows 11 update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable:

    1. Make sure Windows 11 is fully updated
      • Select Start → Settings → Windows Update → Check for Windows updates.
      • Install all pending updates, including cumulative and .NET updates, and restart if required.
      • Then run Check for updates again until no further updates are offered.
    2. Download and install the latest Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable manually
      • The Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable uses the same binaries for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 and is supported on Windows 11.
      • Download the latest supported package from the official Microsoft download page for Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64 and, if needed, x86) and install it manually.
      • Ensure the architecture (x64/x86/Arm64) matches the device.
    3. Check for “another installation in progress” errors
      If Windows Update or the Redistributable installer reports error 0x80070652 (another installation is already in progress):
      • Wait for any other installer (including Windows Update) to finish.
      • Restart the device to clear any stuck installation state.
      • After restart, run Windows Update again and retry the Visual C++ update.
    4. Let Windows Update re-detect after manual install
      • After successfully installing the latest Redistributable manually, open Settings → Windows Update → Check for updates again.
      • Windows Update should detect that the required runtime version is present and either complete or stop offering the failed C++ update.
    5. If the update still fails
      • Ensure the system meets the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable system requirements (Windows 11 is supported, 1 GB RAM minimum, 50 MB free disk space).
      • If disk space is low, free space and retry.
      • If problems persist, use the Visual C++ Redistributable troubleshooting guidance referenced in the “Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads” article.

    These steps align with Microsoft guidance: keep Windows fully updated, use the latest supported Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable, and ensure the system meets the redistributable’s requirements so Windows Update can complete successfully.
