Install error - 0x8007012a Windows 11 Dev
Good Afternoon,
It seems that Surface has released a new firmware update and the Windows update is not working to download the update. It gives the error Install error - 0x8007012a. Also, I notice through videos or forums that others have the same issue.
Can someone look into it? I have sent feedback, thank you and have a wonderful Christmas!

Deleted . Most times when you try to run an update on windows, you might encounter the Windows Update Install Error. Not to worry, i will give possible fix methods below.
1. Check your internet connection on your device.
2. Stay connected to the power supply.
3. Launch Windows Update troubleshooter.
4. Use OEM’s dedicated tool to download the firmware.
To see more possible fixes read more on TheWindowsClub .
- OskyEdzCopper ContributorI'm also having this problem.
Install error - 0x8007012a
Patch: Surface - Firmware - 11/14/2018 12:00:00 AM - 242.0.1.5
Step 1: Full WiFi signal, and successful ping to Microsoft.com.
Step 2: Power supply connected and battery 80%+
Step 3: Could not find any problems.
Step 4: OEM is Microsoft as it this is a Surface laptop...and they only use Windows Update for drivers last time I checked...- DeletedAre you happen OskyEdz to be on the Dev channel like I am, it seems according to my update version to be installing a patch from June. It seems it is a bug, I have reported this and it comes and goes. Just ignore I guesss.

I am also booting issue in dev insider program like my pc shuts down ,sleep or restart after 2-3 minutes later. So is there any solution to it.??Deleted
- OskyEdzCopper ContributorI don't think that is related to this Windows Update glitch/error.
You seam to describe that your PC shuts down and have problems booting again? - DeletedHI Chetan1070 it would be best to make sure all your updates in including your bios as it could be a hardware issue. Maybe OskyEdz can help you 🙂
It seems that this error code I have is a bug that was noted in the issues in the yesterday's blog post.
Merry Christmas Eveyrone!

zzcool500 It's a bug that was noted in the issues section in one of the last Windows Insider blogs! It seems to be trying to download a update from June, just ignore the update 🙂

Exactly the same recurring issue:
Surface - Firmware - 11.8.86.3877
Install error - 0x8007012aHope Microsoft addresses the issue soon!
- DeletedHI MichaelMatthey,
It was addressed in the previous Windows Insider Build blog post which is under investigation on the above issue.
Just ignore the update, also the next preview update should be rolling out tomorrow.
