Installation Failure for 2023-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5031356) 0x8007000D

Question

Hi, I am unable to install latest Windows 10 22H2 Cumulative Update, with the error 0x8007000D. I have tried downloading the KB from Microsoft Update Catalog and run manually but I am getting this error as well. Has anyone else faced this issue and does anyone have a solution for this?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Getting around that time microsoft should start firing people for incompetence. this is just sad

Answer 2

This is a microsoft problem and microsoft needs to correct it ASAP. It failed to install on my desktop Win 10 which unfortunately is not compatible with Win11. It tried to install at least 3 times failing each time until I stopped the updates for 7 days. Another update worked on 10-11 and still another worked on 10-12. But, now my computer is really going slow and acting strange. Am currently running the DISMs and so far no problems showing. Which microsoft would provide a patch to correct this failure. Also, checked for viruses and malware and all checked out ok!

Microsoft has now confirmed this bug and shipped a KIR solution, to roll back the buggy fix (just the component that caused the issue) for affected non managed Windows systems.

see Windows 10 Update KB5031356 fails with error 0x8007000D

But there is something missing: For managed systems, a msi installer to apply the necessary group policy hasn't been mentioned nor linked. @Microsoft moderators: Somebody shall write a remark (on KB article and also on the Windows 10 health status article The October 2023 security update might fail to install), why managed systems are not covered. Has something changed in KIR? I've escalated it the the moderators.

Addendum: On October 17, 2023, Microsoft has extended the article The October 2023 security update might fail to install - and the msi installer for admx files needed for managed environments has been added.

Answer 4

On my HP Spectre, Windows 10 v 22H2 (upgrade 11/22) (KB5031356) upgraded successfully without admin/user interaction needed on 10/11/2023.

On my Lenova Yoga 7 also running Windows 10 v 22H2, had the above mentioned issue with "restart pending". After multiple failed restart/reboot attempts and the upgrade not happening, "Restart Required" status remaining, I ran David's steps, Troubleshooter first per suggestion, and continued to steps 1 through 3 in the first section verbatim. I then re ran the upgrade check, (KB5031356) showed up and started to download/install). Checked history after install/restart. Problem cleared and upgrade was successful.

Great Job David! Thank you.

Thanks Brian, I did steps 1 and 3 but not 2. Everything checked out fine but still would not work. I suspended updates for a week hoping Microsoft will correct the problem. If it does not happen might try step 2(worried that it might make things worse) and might try to restore windows w/o deleting my files. Since my system is not compatible with win 11 there may be a problem with my drivers or hardware. I don't have tmp2 and it says my graphics card is not compatible with win 11, but, win 10 was working just fine until this update , yet, it failed and does not show in my successful updates. My PC that it won't install on is over half empty. 576GB free space. My current question is why did it install the other update kb5031224 on 10-11 and another update kb5001716 on 10-12, but, will not install kb5031356? That would indicate to me that nothing is wrong with my windows update setup.
