    The page, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/common-windows-update-errors#0x800f0920, says for error 0x800F0920:

    A servicing operation is taking a long time to complete. The servicing stack watchdog timer expires and assumes the system has stopped responding. Extending the timeout will mitigate the issue. ...

     

    In https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/windows-update-hangs-updates-uninstalled I found instructions on extending the time-out period used by the TrustedInstaller (Windows Modules Installer) service while installing updates:
    In Registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TrustedInstaller changed BlockTimeIncrement value from 900 (seconds) to 9000 (seconds) and restarted the server.

     

    After that the installation of KB5028232 finished successfully.
