Windows 10: Install error whenever I try to install 2024-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version...

I simply cannot update my pc, I get the same error every time;2024-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems KB5040442Install error - 0x80070057Please advise.William

Windows won't let me install a 2024/07 Cumulative Update

I was on my laptop and proceeded to update Windows 11 to the latest version possible, like BIOS updates, Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool updates, etc.

But there's a catch: I'm having issues with installing a Cumulative Windows Update.

After installing every software update possible, I let my laptop sit for a while to install a more recent 2024/07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 23H2 (KB5040442).

That didn't go quite well, it was still stuck at a 2024/06 Cumulative Update, and after I checked for updates, I realized that the Windows 11 23H2 cumulative update (KB5040442) has a "Download and install error" message, maybe that's the reason why.

So can you pls tell me how to fix this to never happen again? Thanks.

 

2024-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5040442) Error

I've been trying to install Windows update (2024-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5040442)) however it keeps failing and returns the following message:

Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80070570)

 

Unable to install 2024-01 Cumulative Updates for Windows 11

I've tried the Windows Troubleshooter, and I disabled Malwarebytes (I primarily use Windows Defender, so I didn't need it running as well), and I've tried restarting a couple times.

But the following two updates refuse to install, and I keep receiving error code 0x80070020 for:

• 2024-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034123)
  
• 2024-01 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2 for x64 (KB5033920)
  

What do I need to do, to get these updates to install?

I'm running Windows 11 Home (version 22H2).

Not sure if it's extraneous info but my processor is a 12th Gen Intel i7, with 32GB of RAM.

Many thanks,
