Cumulative update KB5003214 fails to install
Hello Good afternoon Everybody ! Well unexpectedly ONCE AGAIN Windows cumulative update windows 10 version 21H1 build 19043.1023 failing to install after multiple attempts. This means this is the 4th update in last 3 months that causing severe headaches to Microsoft Users. Just 2 Weeks ago I moved front 20H2 to 21H1 and it went successful but then again the problem starting coming out of nowhere. Shout loud if you have been facing the same issue as I have been facing for quite sometimes now. Cheer Pals
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.
Jauhar I had similar identical problems. I was unable to install 20H2 update. Then I installed directly 21H1 update without much difficulty. I tried to install optional cumulative update KB 5003214, twice without success. I tried third time and got installed without any problem. Rechecked and found it has been installed.
Great!System Diagnostics checks the environment for updates and it is normal that there are failures, but the system works well and you do not have to be upset that with me there is no latest update - all at the same time can not download and install it!
So there's error information and that's it!

Adrien1920 Well 1st of all 1 million like for your help. I have followed Windows upgrade via Media Creation tool but without ISO file. After that downloaded and Installed KB5003214 and it went super successful dear. Your comment has solved my long time problem solved. GREAT DEAR AND STAY BLESSED
Deleted Deleted Thanks to you too for being there Thumbs up and Cheers Pal 🙂 ,
Perfect - we also thank you very much!
Before us the new Windows I hope that everything will be fine!
- 19043.1023 is my very latest build 🙂 Thanks dear and all the participants 🙂
Hello
I would just add that this is an optional update - preview and should not be installed on all devices!
21H1 feature update by default does not require download of optional installations!
- Hi dear ! I don't understand this language. Could you Please translate this message in English to know what exactly it says. Thanks
The screenshot shows confirmation that I installed kb5003214 properly, but this update will not install automatically in sleep - requires an open computer and power on!
Please do not enforce its implementation if your system language is not yet prepared
by Microsoft!
Perhaps this is the cause of your problems with the latest Windows updates!
- BUSQUE ESTA INFO PARA VER SI ERA SOLO YO PERO VEO QUE HAY MAS PERSONAS CON EL MISMO PROBLEMA se reinicia desase los cambios por falla de actualización ya he echo y probado todo los métodos posibles la ultima opción que me va quedando es formatear y arrancar de cero pero seguiré esperando por si surge novedades sobre este fallo
I've also been having headaches running the updates the last few months. Currrently with the 2021-05 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5003214), when running the update, I would receive the errors when installing that the computer is diagnosing problems and running repairs. It then reboots and scaps the update gives me 0x80004005 for the error code. Currently running build 19043.899 and Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3740.0. Tried doing the manual install and of course that was a no go. Jauhar
- Hi Dear ! We I am running currently on build 19043.985 version 21H1. The greatest issue is that we haven't found any solution yet and nobody on this huge forum has any solution for the mess not even MS itself. You may visit my profile and a post of mine has been seen by 107K contributors but none of them has any idea about the solution. We all have tried all the available tips and tricks but all went in vain and the issue is still out there !
I have the same issue on 2 computers, it tries to install but then it tells me it failed.
 
- I am facing exactly what you are facing ! It is painful when the Installation fails last moment when it reaches to 100% and things going back and all it starts UNDOING CHANGES
- After multiple failures to install KB5003215 via update, I tried the Media Creation Tool 21H1. It took about an hour but completed an upgrade install of 21H1 (including KB5003214) without problems. Thanks.
Hello
Thank you for confirming that the solution works!
Such information passed on as your own experience is needed and helpful!
Good luck!
- Managed to download update KB5003637 only to find it only installation stuck at 20% and failed. Same failure with KB5003173.
- I also experienced it. Just do the same thing. Upgrade the OS using media creation tool and it should be fixed.
Hello Jauhar,
Can you share us the error code/message received while installing the update?
Also, try installing KB5003214 manually via Update Catalog, see if it works:https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5003214
Hope this helps!
- 0x800f0922 is the error code. Nope dear Manual install wouldn't help either because MS updates works on a very simple theory. If it work then mood won't matter whether you update it automatically or manually. This is now quite a problem for the past few months
I agree with you that the download from Microsoft is unlikely to fail, and the preview of the update to 21H1 version is not available for manual download!
- 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.
- Ive been dealing with this issue for months now... This page worked for me. In particular it was Method number 4.
https://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2020/10/feature-update-to-windows-10-version-20h2.html#.YVaxy2iYUuV- 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.
