How can I successfully install the April 2024 cumulative update KB5036892 for Windows 11?
I update successfully with automatic updates every month, usually with no problem. But this month, the cumulative update KB5036892 will not install. This is the message I get:
Some update files are missing or have problems. We’ll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x8007000d)
I tried the following to fix it:
Ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter
Tried the standalone installer using the download from the Microsoft Update Catalog for KB5036892
Ran sfc /scannow and verified there are no integrity problems in system files
Ran the Shawn Brink WuReset2.0.bat script available on answers.microsoft.com
After each fix listed above, I rebooted and ran Windows Update or the standalone installer again, but I always get the same error message listed above, with error code 0x8007000d.
Details of the Windows 10 installation:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590S CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points
Edition Windows 10 Pro
The system has worked well with Windows 10 ever since it was upgraded to Windows 10 in 2016, and has been regularly updated with automatic updates with no serious issues over the last eight years until now
Windows is running in a virtual environment (Xen), and the only problem this has caused is the KB5034441 WinRE update fails to install. The Disk management utility shows that the installation has a 511 MB Recovery Partition, but I presume it is not configured such that Windows Update can install KB5034441. Does the KB5036892 update depend on KB5034441 being installed correctly? I don’t want to spend time fixing my system so KB5034441 installs successfully on my system unless KB5036892 requires that KB5034441 is installed.
So I am stumped now, and ask for suggestions about how to get my installation updated with the latest security patches contained in KB5036892. If it is necessary to fix my WinRE partition so KB5034441 can install, I also ask for suggestions on how to manually fix the WinRE partition so KB5034441 installs successfully.
Hi jovic , thanks for reaching out.
Try doing a repair install. A repair Install keeps everything, including Files and applications, and reinstalls Windows.
