Wowee - I've struggled with DISM weirdnesses for a while now (both before and after an in-place update) and I had given up trying to find a solution. But these commands dism /online /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~26100.1742.1.10 Dism.exe /online...

Completed OK for me - but I wonder how many more of these we'll see today

I decided not to wait until after dinner to do the reinstall. It worked. The process is a bit time consuming, and there are periods when it seems like nothing is happening. But it completed OK. Windows Update says I am up to date, so I guess I'll have to wait another month to see if new updates...

So I waited until KB5060842 came out (today) and tried it. Needless to say it failed. So I'll be doing a Repair Install later today. During my hiatus from updates I discovered several interesting things: sfc /scannow found some errors but corrected them all. After that dism said my component...

I tried it and am quite impressed. Along with all the standard cleanup items it found 5 GB of old Windows stuff that was not found by either Wise Disk Cleaner or Ashampoo WinOptimizer cleaner. That's the good news. The bad news is it deleted all my Brave and Chrome browser passwords. I got them...

I've been unable to install KB5058411 on my Win11 Pro system, so I downloaded this one and tried it - even though I'm not running a Server version. The downloaded msu file took a loooonnnggg time extracting files, but it finally finished after about 20 minutes. It then said it was installing...

Brave rules.

Well, it failed. I copied and ran the middle one: And when I did I got this: The problem was - I let it run for more than 10 minutes and it never ended. My Internet speed is 500/500, so that should have been more than enough time. Clicking Cancel did not work, so I had to shut it down from...

Sorry - it was around 1 AM last night and I just decided to call it a night. But yes, I did do that - or at least I think I did. The BIOS app on the system didn't have an item specifically labelled Secure Boot - so I picked the one that seemed closest to that. The CPU I have is an N100 which...

No. In the past I have downloaded updates a couple of times when I had similar problems, and I looked into doing that for this one. But from what I got from the instructions it looked like the procedure for doing that was quite complicated and involved first getting some software that decripted...

Got it, thanks. I've just been looking for something that will let me avoid in in-place update.

After reading the above posts I took a look at the referenced places in Event Viewer. I found nothing relevant there, but in Windows Logs/System Logs I found these errors: Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0983: 2025-05 Cumulative Update for...
