  1. Windows Update KB4598291 error 0x80073701


    I am running windows 10 Home and I am also a Windows Insider. Late last year some updates came out and have caused me some issues. Currently my issue won't let me upgrade to windows 10 Pro. The update in question is KB4598291 and it always gives me error 0x80073701. I have tried everything except wiping and clean install. currently 20H2 19042.546 windows feature experience pack 120.212.21.0 I have made space on hard drive, ran commands from prompt, tried manually, etc. I hve not tried removing old updates cuz I don't know order to uninstall to not have issues? Does anyone have any ideas to help a recently retired guy out? I hav ran this update like almost 10 times and fail.

  2. Windows update error 0x80073701 and .Net Framework broken

    When you do what?

    Repair install or Windows Update?

    If it's Windows Update, run the script that @Caledon Ken suggested in post #12

    Updating Fails with Error 0x80073701

    Hi, there appear to be errors in your log. What was the final statement on the screen?

    Looks like the two key things are the error number 0x80073701
    and ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING

    Have you also checked absolute basics:
    - check your disk (e.g. HDTune v2.55 free Health and Error Scan tabs
    - if ok, run
    chkdsk c: /scan
    from an admin command or Powershell prompt

    Post the summary results of those.

    If ok please run this MS tool and post summary results:
