Windows 11 - Error 0x800f0922 after trying to install KB5012643 several times

2022-04 Cumulative update for Windows 11 (x64 based systems), aka KB5012643 is continuously failing (arriving at 98% then 'something didn't go as planned, reverting' at reboot) with error code 0x800f0922.

I tried deleting stuff in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download, I have .NET framework installed, I have sufficient free space (several GBs) of disk space, tried DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, msconfig restart with essential services, SFC /scannow, windows updater troubleshooter (always finds the same problem and says it has fixed it: WaaSMedicService always found as an issue). Nothing worked.

How can I solve this problem?

    I also tried all of the above solutions: problem still persists. Plus I tried installing it manually from https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=5013943 (the 2022-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5013943)) and still didn't work: installed and after rebooting it says at 98% 'something didn't go as planned, reverting'.

    Could somebody please give me a hint on how to solve this.
