    Update Error 0x800f081f for Update KB5030219

    I am getting this error for Cumulative updates since a month, to be more precise Update KB5030219

    As shown in the video posted below, the other update succesfully gets downloaded and installed while the reported update gives me error code 0x800f081f. Video listed is a timelapse fast forward it to the end to see the error

    Laptop Model: Asus Vivobook 15.6 inch M515DA-BQ512WS



    Steps I have tried to resolve the error:

    1. Every process mentioned in this thread, yet none worked to resolve this.
    2. Appraoched ASUS service centre, where they suggested me to clean wipe and install the updates to resolve this error.
    Yet one of the working engineer also suggested me to write this in the forum as last step of hope before resetting the whole laptop.

    Installing every application to be at today's restore point will take me around 15-20 hours of continous screen time, which I really not willing to take.

    I am usually on & off my wifi for work conditions, hence attempts to pause the updates have also been out of question.

    I am also curious to understand the reason for initiation of this error. Also, would love to explore any other possibilities where I might have missed to neutralise this error as it is affecting my meter connection.

    Hope to see similar reports or expertise so as to collectively resolve this error for the community.

    Error 0x800f081f in Win 10


    In case you have any doubt, here is the article issued by Microsoft..................

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/gwt/10164

    direct copy from the article...................... ( this method is applicable to Windows 10 )

    Solution for error 0x800f081f for Windows 8.1 or Windows 8

    If you receive Windows Update error 0x800f081f, it means that Windows Update cannot determine the cryptographic service provider, or a file that Windows Update requires (named catalog store) is corrupted.
    To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
    Step 1: Use System File Checker to repair damaged Windows files
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair damaged Windows files, and then run Windows Update again. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Open an elevated command prompt.
    • Run the following command:
      sfc /scannow
    • Try to install update again.
    For more information about the System File Checker tool, view Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files.
    Step 2: Run the DISM tool
    If the problem continues, use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to fix Windows corruption errors. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Open an elevated command prompt.
    • Run the following command: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth.
    Important When you use the /online option, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are required to fix corruptions. However, if Windows Update service is broken, don’t use the /online option. Instead, use a running Windows installation as the repair source, or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or from a removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files. To do this, run the following command instead:
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess
    Note Replace the C:\RepairSource\Windows placeholder with the location of your repair source. For more information about using the DISM tool to repair Windows, reference Repair a Windows Image.
    To learn more about this tool, go to Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool.

    Windows Update - KB5053656 - Installation error - 0x800f081f

    Error 0x800F081F

    Hi,

    I have followed the instructions below until i get to set 2. and it is just jargon to me... what does mount the iso image that's created in step 1?

    Is there a simple youtube video i can just follow?

    Error code 0x800F0906, 0x800F081F, or 0x800F0907

    To fix the error codes for Windows 10, follow these steps:

    1. Download the Windows Media Creation tool, and create an ISO image locally, or create an image for the version of Windows that you have installed.
    2. Configure the Group Policy as in Method 2, but also follow these steps:
      1. Mount the ISO image that's created in step 1.
      2. Point the "Alternate source file path" to the ISO sources\sxs folder from the ISO.
      3. Run the gpupdate /force command.
      4. Add the .Net framework feature.
