    Jauhar I have tried to upgrade Windows 10 using the media creation tool and it fix the same problem that you have mentioned. I have the same problem before installing KB5001330 and a lot of Cumulative Updates. Just select Upgrade This PC and make sure to select Keep Files and Apps to make sure that you still have the apps/files that you have before upgrading. For me, it takes about 1 hour from the Media Creation Tool up to a couple of restarts. But it depends on your internet speed. And now I can install all updates. Also tried SFC and DISM Scans but did not fix my problem.  Upgrading your PC will replace your Windows Files, but not affects Files, Apps, and Drivers. After that, there will be some updates in the Windows Updates after the upgrade.

     

    Optional:

    Delete the ESD Folder in the C:/ directory

    Settings/System/Storage/Temporary Files then scan our Temporary Files and delete the Previous Installation of Windows. (Deletes the Windows.old folder)

     

    *Doing Optional things will make your drive space bigger as it deletes the files used in the upgrade, but its files will be needed if you have problems, to go back to the previous install/state.

     

     

    Also, I tried it with my another PC, with an AMD A8 CPU that takes about 1 and a half hour for the upgrade process and it also fix the problem. Hope that works.

Yep gives me no error codes just never installs sometimes it goes to 100% but then eventually just drops to 21% gets stuck indefinitely. Have not been able to work due to this error since it this update has been released.

    My Windows 10 version is currently 20H2 so I am not trying to update from version 2004. My problem is any cumulative updates just won't install. Windows keeps saying I am missing some vital components but say what. The error code is always 0x80073712.

    My most recent KB5005565 cumulative update for Windows 10 failed to installed. KB5005539 for .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.8 was installed OK. It seems only cumulative updates for Windows 10 Version 20H2 that fail.
