Windows 11 - Error code 0x80073712 - Windows update KB5006363

Copper Contributor

Edition Windows 11 Home Version 21H2 Installed on ‎10/‎5/‎2021 OS build 22000.318

Upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through Windows Insider.  I contacted Microsoft support and was referred here since the install was through Windows Insider.  

 

Getting Windows Update error 0x80073712 for update 2021-11 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 11 for x64 (KB5006363).  Other updates have been successful since this update failed.  

 

Steps taken to fix the issue include:  Restarted the computer, ran windows update troubleshooter, ran sfc.exe, ran dism tools, and stepped through the automated helper in the windows support site.

 

Any help is appreciated.

because the Windows 11 install was through the Microsoft Insiders Program, and NOT a standard Windows 11 install, standard techniques
did not work. I posted the issue on the Insiders community but got no response. From research on Google (https://techdows.com/2021/06/show-or-hide-updates-tool-download-available-with-sha-2.html)
I found a Microsoft tool (wushowhide.diagcab) and downloaded it from https://www.majorgeeks.com. I ran the tool and it fixed the problem.
