For the last few days, I've been trying to install the latest security update 2023-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022303). However, I constantly get an install error - 0x800f0905. How can I resolve this?

Hi AbhiKulkarni,

Additional FODs may be corrupted, and DISM/servicing operration might be quitting when it encounters the 1st failure instead of resuming the next operation. Can you please upload the latest CBS log?

-or-

You can right away do a repair installation of Windows. The following method should retain your apps, settings, and data.

  • Download the Windows 11 ISO
  • Double-click the ISO to mount it to a drive letter.
  • Run Setup.exe and complete the repair process.

    Thanks for reaching out! My name is, Zadee. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be glad to help you today.

    Run the troubleshooter first, AbhiKulkarni. This auto-fixes things as much as it can. Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooter > Run Windows update.

    If it does not work still, run DISM and SFC.

    -Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator

    -Copy and paste these commands one at a time

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    -Restart when all the above is complete

    Once the computer boots up, run a SFC scan. You can follow the steps below:

    -Win + R to open run box

    -Type: cmd <Press SHIFT + CTRL + ENTER>

    -In CMD type: sfc /scannow

    -Wait for it to finish

    -Restart the computer again

    Try to update again.
