    Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

    .WU attempts to install .net 5.0.5 when 5.0.6 is already there

    WU attempted to install the .net 5.0.5 update the other night even though .net 5.0.6 had already been installed by WU

    The update keeps retrying and fails every time and the following warning is in reliability history:
    2021-04 .NET 5.0.5 Update for x64 Client - failed windows update

    The WU error code is 0x80070643

    I was hoping MS would have fixed this incorrect update but nothing so far

    Any suggestions please how to stop this retry / failure sequence. I have tried running troubleshooter but it found nothing

    I am running Win10 20H2 (OS Build 19042.985)
