Tiny 10 2303 Windows Update Error 0x800f081f

I have been trying to use the Windows update for Tiny100 version 2303, but it keeps showing the message "There was a problem installing the update. We will retry later. If you continue to see this prompt and wish to search the internet or contact technical support for information, the following content may be helpful: (0x800f081f)". Currently, I have tried "sfc /scannow", but it didn't work; I also tried "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth", but it failed as well.

    0x800f081f usually means Windows can’t find the source files needed to repair/install the update, and on Tiny100 this is very likely because the image has removed Windows components such as the Component Store, so SFC/DISM may not be able to fix it.

    If you need stability and security updates, reinstall standard Windows 11. If you want the lightweight feel, continue using Tiny 10 but disable Windows Update permanently and rely on the builder for major version updates .
