I am not able to install the latest windows 11 update (KB5005191)
- Aug 30, 2021
I have fixed this problem without losing any data.
I have downloaded the version of the windows (for me 22000.168) from the http:// https://uupdump.net/ site.
You will get the ISO file after this. This conversion process after downloading will take a hell of a lot of time ( 4+ hours ). Downloading is resumable but I don't know about the conversion process.
So after downloading and conversion, you have to mount that ISO, after mounting you will see setup.exe run that and choose not to delete any file or data ( keep everything default ).
The installation will take almost 1 hour. After that, check back the updater, you will again see the update which was failing, but this time after downloading for a long time it will install successfully.
Thanks.
See if this support article helps you (applies to Windows 11 also):

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried almost all the solutions available on a single google search, but nothing works. I guess now I have to reset the windows.
