Windows 10: Failing to install 2019 cumulative updates - Error 0x800f0983

After I updated to Build 1809, Windows Update indicated that there were multiple updates to be made (.NET, Adobe Flash Player, etc.). One of these updates was the 2019-01 Cumulative Update. However, it is failing every time (through Windows Update and through Update Catalog) with Error 0x800f0983. I had to give up trying as I was going nowhere - even after disabling antivirus and several other programs.


I searched everywhere and there is NO mention of this error anywhere in the Internet. Today is Patch Tuesday and now 2019-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64-based Systems (KB4487044) is available but it is failing to install as well, with the exact same error.


Does anyone have any idea of what this error might be and how to fix it?

Windows 10 version 10.0.17763.195 not updating anymore since 2018-12 Cumulative Update, Troubleshooter failing to start

Hi Vijay, thank you for your quick reply.

As for step 1, I mentioned in the title that my troubleshooter is not starting at all.

Nonetheless, I ran successfully all the commands listed in step 2 and restarted my machine, but when I tried to run Windows Update it failed again, returning a different error for the Cumulative Update:

2019-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64-based Systems (KB4480116)

Error 0x8007025d

 

2019-01 cumulative update for 1809 x64 fails with 0x800F0922 error


The January cumulative update for Windows 10 x64 v1809 (KB4480116) doesn't successfully install and the update rolls back on reboot. I install it via Windows Update, click the Restart button when it appears, the GUI shuts down and Windows briefly shows the blue screen saying "Configuring updates", which appears to be successful, and the machine then reboots. Before the login screen appears on reboot I see another blue screen saying the updates could not be applied and are being rolled back, then the machine automatically reboots again and I can then login. However, when Windows Update then re-installs the cumulative update, on the next reboot the process happens again (three times so far).

When I look at update history in Settings, it shows the 2019-01 cumulative update with "Last failed install attempt on ‎10/‎01/‎2019 - 0x800f0922", and the event in the system log for the failure shows

and the details tab for the event shows

I started an admin command prompt and ran Code:

Code:

SFC /scannow

(result "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"), Code:

Code:

dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

(result "No component store corruption detected"), and Code:

Code:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

(result "The restore operation completed successfully").

After this I tried installing the update again, but it failed again with the same error.

Any suggestions on a fix for this?

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate
