SCCM software update install error 0x8007139F
While trying to install the monthly September patch Tuesday updates, e.g. 2025-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5065426) (26100.6584) and 2025-09 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 24H2 for x64 (KB5064401) would often fail on many machines with error code 0x8007139F. Every single time this would happen, the update will always install on a retry. That's if the issue happened at all, but it happened on around 60% of the endpoints this month in the test deployment group. It appeared to happen to both updates. Based on the error description, it states that the group. or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. I couldn't find any documentation of this issue for other people using SCCM. I already tried resetting windows update components, running sfc /scannow, and the DISM restore image command which all completed successfully, but nothing has fixed the issue so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A potential short-term workaround would be to adjust the client agent's update check intervals. By navigating to Client Settings > Software Updates and reducing the following schedules, the client will attempt failed updates more frequently, often resolving the issue without manual intervention:
- Software Update Scan Schedule: Reduce to 12 hours
- Software Update Re-evaluation Schedule: Reduce to 6 hours
The values above are examples; you can set them lower for even faster retries. Please note that more frequent checks will increase network traffic and load on the site server, so adjust accordingly.
