Windows 10: Repeated failure to install 2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for...

Hello, The 2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems KB5028185 failed several times to install of my computer, with the first attempt made on 7/12. I did not realize until today, as I never got any error message nor any warning. However, today the sudden worsening of the graphics displayed on screen especially text made me look for driver updates and, consequently, for Windows updates.Today I tried several times to start manually the update, before and after after running the updates troubleshooter, with no success, if not the appearance of new error

:)

2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5028185)

i always get retry and failed

 

how to fix 2023-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5023706)

John Dev,

Why would an in-place Upgrade solve this problem? I did all the steps listed here but not the in-place update. The error I see in the Windows update window is "Download error - 0x8024401c" for 2023-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5023706). Its been logging this error since 3/17/2023

Note that on 2/15 everything seemed fine:

2023-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022845)

2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 failed to install but no longer shows up

Hello,

I recently tried to install the following updates:

1) 2023-07 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework, 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2 for x64 (KB5028851)

2) 2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5028185)

The .NET Framework update installed just fine, but Windows Update said the second one (KB5028185) "failed" to install. I clicked "Retry," and I was told that it "failed" to install the update a second time. However, Windows Update now says my computer is "up to date," and it doesn't find any updates to install when I click "Check for updates."

Worst of all, when I click on "Update history," it doesn't mention KB5028185 at all, so the most recent security update that was "successfully installed" is the one released on June 13, 2023. For reference, it is listed as: 2023-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5027119)

So, in short, I need to figure out whether the following update was installed: 2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5028185)

It doesn't show up in the update history, and it's obviously very important since it was meant to address a variety of security issues. Here's the official web page for it: July 11, 2023--KB5028185 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...621-1992-605fa18f-bd49-41d8-80b1-245080e26c3d

One last thing worth mentioning: I opened Windows Event Viewer, clicked on Windows Logs, then clicked Setup, where I found the following messages for July 11, 2023:

"Initiating changes for package KB5026372. Current state is Superseded. Target is Absent. Client id: Arbiter." (Not sure what this is)

"Initiating changes for package KB5026549. Current state is Installed. Target is Absent. Client id: Arbiter." (Not sure what this is)

"Package KB5028185 was successfully changed to the Installed state." (Update that gave me a "failed" message)

"Package KB5028851 was successfully changed to the Installed state." (.NET update that succeeded)

This seems to confirm that KB5028185 was successfully installed even though the "Update History" in the Windows Update menu has no record of it, but I need to make sure. Please help me make sense of what is going on here.

Thanks.
