Just like you, I have run into the same mistake over and over again.

Even with the hints here (most recently the link hints) have brought nothing at all.


I have spent hours running SFC checks or DISM health checks. Each one was without an error ...

Finally I used MediaCreationTool21H1 to update the PC directly (all apps and settings are applied) and I'm finished.

Now its the WinVer Build 19043.1288 (from originally 19043.1165)


No idea why the Inplace Upgrade/Update works and the Windows Update dialog does not.

Maybe it will help you further.


Cheers!

thanks for trying!
I just tried the tool you say, and previously i already tried with its previous version, but the outcome is a window saying "everything will be deleted". Other options (keep your stuff) are disabled.
I will do that when I'm finally forced to.

    Oh, that is a pity 😞
    Had hoped it would lead to success for you without much effort.
    Maybe you (or Microsoft) can eliminate the problem with the next big autumn update.
