Failed update Error 0x800f081f

Anonymous

I'm running Windows 10 Pro trying to install an update and it continues to fail,

"2019-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based systems (KB4524570) - Error 0x800f081f

Tried several times and it keeps failing to install. I downloaded the update separately and tried installing it that way and same issue.

Says Update were not installed.

How do I fix this?

Hi, AlainViesca

My name is Jeffrey and I am an Independent Advisor. I would be happy to help you today.

Try to upgrade to version 1909 at once.

If you have a third-party antivirus, you must disable or uninstall it.

Try reset Windows update components:

Right click on the start button and select Powershell (admin) or Command Prompt (admin)

Write the next hit enter after each line.

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

Restart and try again.

You can also download the Windows Error Solver:

You can do it manually by downloading the Windows ISO.

When updating with the ISO, disconnect the Internet.
