Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard -Windows updates failed showing the error (0x800f081f)

Answer 1

Hello Sutheesh Poothappara

The error code 0x800f081f usually indicates that there is a problem with the Windows Update component or the installation files. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter. You can do this by going to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update.
2. Check if there are any pending updates that need to be installed before the failed update can be installed. You can do this by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View update history.
3. Try to manually download and install the update from the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
4. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the Windows Update components. You can do this by running the following commands in an elevated Command Prompt:

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver
