Windows 10: Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for KB5033375 NOT INSTALLING

Hi thereI'm running Windows 11 Home, and I always download and install my updates from the update center without any issue, except for an old Intel update issue that I already fixed. But the update KB5033375 whose full name is:"2023-12 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems KB5033375"is not installing at all! It's just downloading, and when it wants to install inside the Update Center in the setting, it says there is an error, which is "Install error: 0x800f0991". And when I want to shut down my device, a black screen appears with the message "working on update

:)

ren %systemroot%\softwaredistribution softwaredistribution.bak
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak

I don't know if these two parts are important but it says this for both:

A duplicate file name exists, or the file

cannot be found.

My installation keeps getting stuck at 50 percent.

2023-12 cumulative update for windows 11 version 22h2 for x64-based systems (kb5033375) install error - 0x800f0991 fail

I've been having MAJOR irritating issues trying to update my laptop, and this specific error keeps on coming up, "2023-12 cumulative update for windows 11 version 22h2 for x64-based systems (kb5033375) install error - 0x800f0991".

I've rebooted, gone to the Microsoft website itself and got what I thought was the latest security download. Closed out all other windows and still keep on coming up with the same error. It will go up to 25%, hang, then fail out.

I'm currently running on an Acer Aspire 3A315 with a 4GB DDR4 installed memory. I will be upgrading to 16GB here very soon. I was wondering if I didn't have enough memory.

But if anyone else has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

 

how to fix 2023-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5023706)

John Dev,

Why would an in-place Upgrade solve this problem? I did all the steps listed here but not the in-place update. The error I see in the Windows update window is "Download error - 0x8024401c" for 2023-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5023706). Its been logging this error since 3/17/2023

Note that on 2/15 everything seemed fine:
