So my laptop was running fine until the 21h2 Cumulative update. When i tried to update my laptop the download was normal but got stuck at 100% for a little bit and then it started installing till 20%

and it got stuck again and it wont move at all no matter how long you wait and then it gives me error 0x80240035. I tried restarting my laptop, deleting Software distobution and catroot2 files.

    Hi AnarSonio -

    Kindly try to perform an in-place repair on your windows computer to fix any corrupted system files on your machine. In-place repair/upgrade or repair reinstall is a process of re-installing Windows without touching any of your applications or personal files. In this way if there's any data corruption, damaged system files or missing system files on your computer, this repair will fix or repair them.

    To start we need to download an ISO file of Windows 10 and save it to your computer. Please follow the instruction on the link below to create an ISO file

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402819...

    After the ISO is created, follow the instructions on the link below created by PaulSey, Microsoft Agent, on how to perform repair install on your computer.

    This process will take some time to complete so you need to be very patient in waiting until the process completes. Once done , restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

    Regards,

    Kevin B.
