    windows 2021-05 Cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1909 failed


    Two desktop computers failed to install the last cumulative update for version 1909, whereas my laptop succeeded. Download and preparation were ok but at 25% of the installation the update ran into problems: (KB5003169- error 0xac00a000. The trouble shooter just notices an error, but no solution. I tried every trick I could find on the internet for this error code, but nothing helps. Who helps me out?

    :)

    Windows 10 Cumulative Updates failing to install since April

    The last successful Windows 10 Cumulative Update was in March (KB4551762). Since then, every single update has failed to install:

    20th June

    2020-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4541335)

    FAILED: 0x800f0986

    Steps I have already taken to resolve the issue:

    • Windows Update Troubleshooter: Did not find any issues;
    • sfc/scannow: Windows Resource Protection: Did not find any integrity violations.
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth: The restore operation completed successfully.
    • ‘In-place’ re-installation using Image Creation Tool or ISO file: Does not support Windows Enterprise.
    • Re-installation using standalone Windows Installer MSU file (downloaded from Windows Update Catalogue): Installation failed.
    • deleted all files from C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download: It did not help.
    • cleaned C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\SLS (deleted all sub-folders except those dated 14th March = last successful Windows update): It did not help.
    The laptop in part of a domain and I consider Resetting PC as the last resort.
