Hi Ravi Thammisetti,
Which version are you on now, use winver and post back the build.
Have you tried -- Open Settings, search Recovery, run Fix problems using Windows Update, then retry to install.

2026-08-01T01:19:35.8066667+00:00 Open Settings, search Recovery, run Fix problems using Windows Update, try this first as it might repair your install, once that has completed try to update again, if it doesn't work let us know the errors please.

They probably got it by running "driverquery /v /fo list | findstr /i wimmount" but as I said this just identifies if you have "Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit" or "Windows PE Add-on" installed, which has the wimmount.sys in a different location and was a much older version in my case. However, the error reported here is 0x80070005, which appears to be an Access Denied, my error was 0x80070241 which appears to be a case of the WIM mounting failure.
Hi Ravi,
I suggest to start you go through, as Bryce suggested, to use the troubleshooter and continue from there.

2026-08-01T06:46:08.37+00:00 Hi Guys,On my system after much digging it was related to "Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit" being installed. I also found that "Windows PE Add-on", if installed, could contribute to this.
To check if you are affected run "driverquery /v /fo list | findstr /i wimmount" and if you get anything other than "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\wimmount.sys" it's possible you are similarly affected.-

2026-08-01T08:36:50.18+00:00 Hi Imre Hirka,
Thanks for that info but a person would have to install those two themselves, Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) and the Windows PE Add‑on, not sure how many people here with the install issues is because of those add-on or kit. Time will tell us.

2026-08-01T22:16:15.0266667+00:00 After running "Fix problems using Windows Update" you get C:\Windows\System32\drivers\wimmount.sys so where abouts are you seeing this, can you give a screen shot please.
