Answer 1

Hello, ALANLUPINETTI.

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I noticed that your update installation failed.

You could try resetting the update or installing it manually.

Here's how to reset the update:

"Win" + "Q" opens Windows search.

Type "CMD" and right-click to open it as an administrator.

Enter each of the following commands and press Enter after each one.

net stop wuauserv

rd /s /q %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution

net start wuauserv

Then attempt to update.

Here's how to manually download updates.

Here is the download link, make sure you select the right version for your system:

Microsoft Update Catalog

Search by the KB number.

Once downloaded, open the file to proceed with the installation.

If there are any updates, please feel free to reply.

Best regards.

Hello, ALANLUPINETTI.

Thanks for your reply.

Some third-party software may also alter certain settings, leading to this issue. If you're unsure of how to revert changes made by a software, you might want to try the following method.

"Win" + "Q" opens Windows search.

Type "CMD" and right-click to open it as an administrator.

Enter each of the following commands and press Enter after each one.

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f 

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsCurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /f

RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers"

RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy"

gpupdate /force

Before executing the command, please back up the registry to prevent new issues from arising.
