KB5006670 Errors

Question

I got the following error 0x800f0831 for KB5006670 after a Windows Update.

Next, I downloaded KB5006670 from the Microsoft Update Catalog, it ran automatically via the Windows Update Standalone Installer and I got the following in Event Viewer | Windows Logs | Setup | WUSA:

Any help, ideas, etc. from the Microsoft Community would be appreciated.

Thanks!

P.S. This is a new KB and in my experience it usually resolves itself of any errors after some time.
