An in-place update should fix this.
- Hi Deleted Thanks for the suggestion, and I did try it, but still have my original problem. I downloaded the ISO for the Windows Insider Release Preview channel and installed it, retaining my apps and data. I then confirmed that I was still set up for the Insider Release Preview channel, and Windows update still wanted to install the update for KB5017389. So I chose again to download and install it. But alas, the install failed again, this time with error 0x8007054f.
It definitely seems to me that this update is flawed in some way, of that there is something in my system that is causing the failure, but I have no way of figuring that out.Yes, this is a confirmation that you are right!

- Thank You again, Deleted
The post you pointed me to suggested using Windows Update Troubleshooter. I had done this last week when this new issue started but it did not help then. Being somewhat desperate now, and having refreshed my system with the Insider ISO, I ran the troubleshooter again, and FINALLY the update installed with no problems, along with an update KB5017271 for .NET
You made my day and I am so thankful !!!
