Hi, @Will Wilson
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
Error code 0x8000ffff usually indicates a problem with Windows Update components or a conflict with third-party software. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:
- Run the Windows Update troubleshooter. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Update > Run the troubleshooter.
- Disable third-party antivirus software temporarily and try to install the update again.
- Perform an in-place upgrade repair using the Media Creation Tool. This will reinstall Windows while keeping your files and applications intact. You can download the tool from the Microsoft website.
