Windows Subsystem for Linux Update - 5.10.93.2 failed to update
Hello,
The non-optional update of "Windows Subsystem for Linux Update - 5.10.93.2" fails: Installation failed on 03/25/2022 - 0x80070661
Any help would be welcome
Thanks in advance.
Yup, 5.10.102.2 x86 from store worked for me
I would like to propose the following solution:

Choose the correct version and then click on download. Choose the correct processor type. Download the CAB-file and extract it to get the corresponding MSI-file. Then install the MSI-file and it should be working.
You may also use the WSL --update command to check for updates afterwards.
It worked on my laptop.
Kind regards,
Kelley
- It solved the issue for me!!
Kelley1995 Your fix to manually download and update worked
Kelley1995 Well, that process seems to have changed the error, although it's not obvious that it's going to install the rest of the updates. We'll see. Thank you!
On a side note, when downloading the file Chrome gave me an error about not being able to download securely. I wonder if it's an expired cert or something. (I'm not interested enough right now to look)
matt314 same issue with Edge, how did you get around the error?
Same issue on me...
I found this: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8186
it says that windows update tries to install arm64 package for x64 system and that gives error.
I am trying the solution at here, to manually downloading update...
...
Yeap, manual download working. Install update cab for your system version, unpack and download update. Result: Update done and no warning for that update again.
- Worked for me!
- Work to me!!

Install error - 0x80070661
Cleared WU cache, restarted, the usual steps when an update is failing - Same issue here. Tried restarting and stopping the WSL and Docker, but no luck.
- Well, if everyone is having the same problem, there is clearly a problem with update. But will Microsoft acknowledge their problem and fix it?
- Same error here.
I have restarted my pc and it doesn't fix it. - Failing for me as well.
- Same Issue!!!! 😞
