Windows 10: Getting error 0x800f0905 with KB5016629

Title. Nothing seems to work and Windows Update is telling me my device is missing important security updates.

:)

 

2022-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5016629) will not install. Install error - 0x800f0988.

A search for an answer to this problem provides several recommendations. None, so far, have worked for me.

The first method I tried said to clean the temp files on your computer and restart it, then reset the update components.

1. Press Windows + R. Type TEMP and press enter. Delete all the files inside this folder. Repeat this step by typing %TEMP% and Prefetch. Delete everything on both folders too.

2. then Update Troubleshooter can help resolve the problem.

Select Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. Next, under Most frequent, select Windows Update > Run.

note: I was not able to delete all of my temporary files because some were in use.

This method did not work, I still got the 'Install error - 0x800f0988'.

The second method said to go to Microsoft Update Catalog

and enter the KB number (KB5016629) into the search field. A list of updates is displayed. Find the appropriate update on the list and pick the download button for that file. Once downloaded, double-click on the file to install it.

The Windows Update Standalone Installer seemed to be working but finished with the message "Some updates were not installed. The following updates were not installed: Security Update for Windows (KB5016629)"

Are there any other methods I can try to get this 'important security update' installed?

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
