Windows Update is giving me an Error

Trying to install a Windows Update. It is giving me an error
Current Windows Version: Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2 (OS Build 26120.4250)

Update for:
Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.26120.4520) (KB5060834)

Error:
Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80070003)


I already tried troubleshooting, raising a question in Microsoft Community, running SFC and DISM scans, etc

 

 

P.S - I am a part of the Windows Insider Programme and I am currently using the Beta Version

    I had an issue updating to 24H2 from 23H2. Just check if this could solve or provide you with a solution.

    • How I resolved: - I manually downloaded the latest Beta ISO and then upgraded to the 10.0.26120.4520 via Windows update.
    • Step to Resolve: - Please download the latest Insider ISO (below is link for the Beta Channel), extract it to a USB device and install it.

      Link to the Windows-11 Insider downloads: Choose your options carefully based on your channel (installed version): - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso
    • Warning: - I did face an Issue during installation as I used a bootable USB for the extra space requirement. The issue is described on the feedback-hub here: - feedback-hub:?contextid=158&feedbackid=efd09d7f-f9d9-482e-91c7-cfb04f24b14c&form=1&src=

    Please Note: - The Ge release comes with a new recovery. If you face problems afterwards, as I did, take help of this Gist blog and Copilot!!

    Same question. Besides, I can't type any word in the search widget and rename file on the desktops. However, in the file explorer, it functions well. Shall I return to the previous version? Thanks

    I am having the same issue and also took the same troubleshooting steps. Very frustrating!

      Yup, this is the second time I am posting on this community. No solution yet!
