    The error 0x800f081f during a Windows update—specifically KB5060818—indicates that some system files or component store (WinSxS) files are missing or corrupted, preventing the update from installing properly.

    Stop the update service and delete the cache file with the command (net stop wuauserv+del %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\* /f /q), clear and retry the installation.
