I can't get this latest update to install even from the manual download and the safe mode. I've been using MS OS before Windows was launched, and every Win version since. Some things seem never to change. I don't want to iterate all the fixes I've tried but I can assure you I have. I don't code anymore - not take I could fix it - but I would probably class myself as an occasional power user.
It stalls at 70% EVERY time. I tried almost everything detailed on MS web resources (I'm sure there are some obscure solutions promulgated, but not for me) and just tried a manual download (that works) and a Safe Mode install (that failed).
Windows 11 seems to work just fine. All my apps launch and run OK, but this update is a complete failure at this point.
Does anyone have an authoritative answer from MS that works?

Hi, this is an update on my orig post re impossibility of applying MS update KB5034123.
I ultimately had reset my PC, reinstalling everything. A real pain in the ****. It's now running normally. Whatever, wherever the software conflict was, I think there were enuf end-user complaints to warrant a better response from Microsoft.
