    Error code "0x8000FFFF" usually indicates that there is a problem with the Windows Update components. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

    1. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update troubleshooter.
    2. Reset the Windows Update components. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each one:

    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

    1. Perform a clean boot. This will help you identify if any third-party software is causing the issue.
