Cumulative Update for Windows 11 (10.0.22000.100) (KB5004300) - Error 0x800f0900
Run Windows Update troubleshooter from Settings app > System > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
Let us know what it reports back.
Yep I run it and it has me try:
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
net stop appidsvc
net stop cryptsvc
Some of these weren't running anyway so I proceeded with:
Del “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat”
Which then throws an error saying:
Could Not Find C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat
I also tried the commands in here:

Open administrative Command Prompt and type following commands one-by-one followed by Enter key.
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
These did not resolve the issue either.
