    Microsoft PrintNightmare Update KB5004945 Fails To Install


    I have difficulties installing the new update. Actually, I never had any issue installing windows updates but the recent update won't install and raises Error while installing! The Error: "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: 0x800f0988"I did anything I found on internet, including restarting the update services and renaming SoftwareDistribution & Cartoot folder via command line. I tried multiple times and also tried to install the update as a standalon

    :)

    This has to be a Microsoft Problem, KB5004945 fails to install

    This has to be a Microsoft Problem, KB5004945 failed to install on two Windows 10 Home /64 (Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1081)) today in the same manner and with the same error code, "Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80070003)"

    A third Windows 10 Home /64 (Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1081)) had no problem with the update.

    Both PCs appear to fail in the same manner; the update appears to install, Windows requests that I restart the PC, the updating Windows blue screen appears, the completion percentage makes it to 7% and Windows restarts twice and says the update failed...

    I shouldn't have to do an in-place re-installation of Windows every time they send out an update. Running Microsoft's worthless Windows Update Troubleshooter never help and all the other suggested fixes I find here don't work either.

    I'm attaching the Zipped update logs from the PC I'm writing this post from, that the update failed on, (WindowsUpdate.zip) and the PC the update succeeded on (laptopWindowsUpdate.zip) in case anyone that can actually read Microsoft Gibberish want's to take a look and see if they can spot the issue via the log files.

    Any help will be appreciated!*chuckle

    This has to be a Microsoft Problem, KB5004945 fails to install

    Question? If not needed then why would it have installed on the one PC (a laptop, not a server)?
