Karlston Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Windows 10 update installation failure is proving a real headache for some KB4586781 cumulative update fails with a mysterious error message (Image credit: Shutterstock) Windows 10’s freshly released cumulative update for November is being problematic in terms of failing to install for some users, and there are a couple of other bugs besides – although fortunately minor ones. Update KB4586781, for Windows 10 machines running the May 2020 Update or October 2020 Update, is failing to install for some people with a mysterious error message – something that we have seen with previous cumulative updates for Microsoft’s OS. As Windows Latest spotted, the installation failure is accompanied by an error message which reads something like: “Some update files are missing or have problems. We’ll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x8007000d).” That error code may vary – again as we’ve seen in the past – and some users are finding that the patch takes a long time, leaving them sitting there wondering what their PC is doing, before getting the failure message. Another user reported in Microsoft’s feedback hub: “The update downloads and installation goes to 100%. After reaching 100%, the update fails with [error] 0X80070308.” On Microsoft’s Answers.com help forum, other users are reporting issues. One post read: “‘KB4586781 Failed to install on 11/12/2020 - 0x8007000d.’ I have tried several times to load KB4586781 using the ‘check for updates’ and also the download of the msu file. I also tried the version of the Nov update that would take me to 20H2. Neither will load and install without giving me that error message.” Another disgruntled Windows 10 user chimed in: “This update has frozen my laptop for 2 days, and I’ve had to pause updates. It is just going through the same cycle as described downloads, installs to 100% freezes everything and after a hard boot is marked as failed. MS you need to get this fixed.” Pointer problem As well as the installation failure, there are a couple of slight bugs which have been reported, including the mouse pointer apparently blinking on and off after applying the KB4586781 update, and Microsoft Edge taking longer to fire up. Only a very small minority are affected by these minor issues, though, according to Windows Latest – but sadly the installation bug seems to be more prevalent. If you are one of those hit by the installation failure problem, there’s no known solution or workaround, and your best bet may simply be to pause the update for now, and hope a resolution is forthcoming. KB4586781 applies some important security fixes to Windows 10, and to Microsoft Office products.

steven36 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 What a mess if it was me i would just downloaded the update installer and installed it with powershell .It worked before when updates got stuck. also someone said they had to connect via a email to even login after these updates. Edit: even installing manual is not working in this case Lots of issues with them wiping out peoples logins as well, do you need to unplug it from the net to make a new offline account to log back in? Wiping Windows off your drive and installing Ubuntu will fix it for sure All the problems it is causing you may want to wait tell latter to update or roll back to the older version of Windows 10 and wait tell they update you . Source When i see these updates causing users stress like this it makes me fell sorry for people who use windows as there daily driver . What is causing it they trying to push out to much security and quality updates at one time they need spread there updates out more and make them much smaller . Even on Linux the longer you wait to update the bigger chance you have at breaking something with too many updates at once.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
