Windows 10: KB5058411 install fails with 0x800736b3 after clean ISO install — update components fully reset

Hi, I'm having persistent trouble installing KB5058411 on a fresh installation of Windows 11 Pro ISO downloaded from Microsoft official site, fully activated. The update fails with error 0x800736b3 every time I attempt to install it via Windows Update.I ran a full Windows Update component reset using the WuReset2.0 script, which:Stops all relevant servicesRenames SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2Deletes qmgr*.dat filesResets services security descriptorsRe-registers dozens of update-related DLLsResets winsock and proxySets services startup type to automatic After reboot, I tried Windows Upda

:)

 

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

 

Error 0x800736b3 when installing KB4074588

Hi,

The 0x800736b3 appears to be linked to .NET Framework 3.5.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to check whether the .NET Framework 3.5 has been installed or not.

• Press Windows+X and then select programs and features.
• On the left hand side click on the option turn windows features on or off.
• Check whether the “.NET Framework 3.5” has been checked or not.
• If not check then I suggest you to check it and then install it.
• Restart your computer and try installing the KB4074588 again.

Kind regards,

Leon

 

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
