Windows update error 0x800f081f

Hi, so I haven't been able to update my laptop the past 2 months I would say, because of that error code. I am Trying to install 2021-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-...

I have the same problem: 2021-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5006738)

We couldn't install this update, but you can try again. (ox80070026.

Is there any point?

I may reinstall windows, but I'm not sure if I can keep most of my programs that I already have installed. If I'm not able to, I guess I'm SoL DaveO1110

My update finally went in, then I downloaded and installed Windows 11, no more hassles. - (so far.)

    There was another update available for the NET framework, after that installed, the other update then went in, so I can only assume it needed that update before the last one.

If you click update now your files and applications will remain on the disk.

  I just tried, and it says "Congratulations you have updated Windows 10"
  But then i go to my settings and go to update windows, and it still shows I have same update I have been trouble trying to install.

JeffyEpstein Hi

Unfortunately, a clean installation removes everything and reinstalls the system!
Have you tried downloading the update assistant?
