Failed with 0x57 retrieving AppModel Runtime status for package Windows. Error code 87

This error has been occurring regularly since the 2021-05 .NET Core 3.1.15 Security Update for x64 Client was successfully installed on 15/05/2021.

At the moment, a Windows Update error Failed to install on ‎3/‎06/‎2021 - 0x80070643 is currently occurring whilst attempting to install the previous update (2021-04 .NET Core 3.1.145 Update for x64 Client). This update was actually successfully installed on 17/04/2021!

All other Windows Updates have been performed as they occur. Could both problems be linked to .NET??

Hope there is a simple solution :)

Thanks

My system details:

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    Hi, I'm Robinson, an Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you.

    It might be that something went wrong with the update files itself. Clearing the folder where all of the

    update files are stored will force Windows Update to download fresh files.

    Here how to clear update database cache, reset windows update components to the default setup.

    1-Press Windows + R, type services.msc and ok to open windows services.

    2-Scroll down and look for windows update service.

    3-Right-click on it and select stop.

    4-Also, do the same with BITs (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) and Superfetch (superfetch now called sysmain) right-click and select stop.

    5-Now Go to the following location C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download.

    6-Delete everything inside the download folder, but do not delete the folder itself.

    To do so, press CTRL + A to select everything and then press Delete to remove the files.

    Again open windows services and restart the services (windows update, BITS) which you previously stopped.

    Restart Windows, and check for updates from settings, update & security.

    Thanks. I tried your suggestion, but without resolution.

    After deleting contents of the Download folder, restarting the services and then rebooting, the Windows Update re-downloaded the 2021-04 .NET Core 3.1.14 Update for x64 Client again, with the same error message

    There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070643).

    The problem seems to be that Windows is trying to install an update that has already been successfully installed.

    Nope, doesn't work. I've seen it on 2 laptops now, it's not specific to 1 machine, probably many people have it. Must be a problem in the central server or the update itself
