Cumulative update KB5001391 fails to Install
Hello Guys ! A expected ONCE AGAIN Microsoft Cumulative update KB5001391 fails to install on #Windows 20H2 , as this has been the 3rd failed update like previously two KB5000842 and KB5001330. Am I t...
Hi, happy to report that for me this issue is now resolved. I contacted MS support via the "Get Help" link in the window where you check your updates.
They told me to download and run the upgrade tool you can find here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You need to upgrade your windows 10 to windows 10... Weird, but I must admit that it solved my issue. Takes a while (+/- 1 hour) though. After that all updates including KB5001391 installed successfully. Also best to run a disk cleanup afterwards.
So far, everything seems to be fully functional again.
Definitely worth a try!
grrava,
I have been working on this issue on my husband's computer since April 2021. He had Win 10 20H2 and none of the cumulative updates would install. I tried everything I could think of. I even called a local repair shop. The tech got on remotely and said the hard drive was defective. I know enough to recognize a sales job when I hear one (Fortunately, there was no charge for the "diagnostics"). Then I saw your post. I ran the upgrade tool to which you refer. It took several hours but HOORAY his computer is now on version 21H1 and is up-to-date. Thank you so very much. You have preserved my sanity. 🙂
