# Troubleshooting Errors in Windows Updates Last Updated On: 14 Aug 2026 14 minutes read Learn how to troubleshoot and resolve common Windows Update errors — such as component store corruption, missing files, or .NET update failures. ## Problem At times, you may encounter an error during the installation of the Windows updates. ## Cause The issue occurs when one or more Windows Update component files become corrupted or go missing. This corruption prevents the system from properly detecting, downloading, or installing new updates. As a result, the update process may repeatedly fail or get stuck during installation. In some cases, users may also see errors related to update services or damaged system files. This typically indicates an integrity problem within the Windows Update components. ## Resolution Follow the steps given below to resolve this issue: - [For Windows Dot Net updates](https://www.manageengine.com/patch-management/kb/patch-management/troubleshooting-errors-in-windows-updates.html#dot-net-updates) - [For Windows OS updates](https://www.manageengine.com/patch-management/kb/patch-management/troubleshooting-errors-in-windows-updates.html#os) ### For Windows Dot Net updates - Search for patch ID **108183 - Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool** in the supported patches list. If you are not able to find the patch ID, go to **Patch Database Settings → Windows** → enable the **Optional Updates** checkbox. After enabling, search for the patch ID in the supported patches list. - Select the patch and click on **Install patch**. - Deploy the configuration on the failed targets. - Once the configuration is executed successfully, retry the deployment of the failed patches. If the issue still exists: - Uninstall and reinstall the .NET framework version installed. - Then restart the system, perform a patch scan and deploy the failed patches if it still appears in the missing patches list. - If the issue still persists, then follow the resolution for Windows OS updates. ### For Windows OS updates - Search for patch ID **105979 - Component Store Corruption** in the supported patches list. If you are not able to find the patch ID, go to **Patch Database Settings → Windows** → enable the **Optional Updates** checkbox. After enabling, search for the patch ID in the supported patches list. - Select the patch and click on **Install patch**. - Deploy the configuration on the failed targets. - Once the configuration is executed successfully, retry the deployment of the failed patches. If the issue still persists, deploy the **Windows update component restore patch** using Patch Manager Plus: - Deploying the Windows update component restore patch will not impact any data on the target computers, and will only resolve issues in the operating system (if any). **Note:** **This applies only to systems running Windows 10 and Windows 11, excluding server machines. For assistance with server machines, please contact the vendor.** To deploy the Windows update component restore patch, follow the steps given below: #### Downloading the ISO file **Note** **Applicable from build 2605 and above:** Starting from build 2605, manual upload of the ISO file is not mandatory for Windows update component restore. **Key points:** 1. Dependency patches will not appear in the "Uploaded Patches" view by default. 2. The system will automatically handle ISO download and deployment during the Windows update component restore process. 3. If the ISO download fails, the corresponding dependency patch will appear in the Uploaded Patches view, allowing manual intervention. 4. If a previously uploaded ISO is available, the deployment will continue using the manually uploaded file. 5. If patches were previously uploaded and later deleted for any reason, the dependency patch will not appear in the "Uploaded Patches" view but will be automatically re-downloaded during the next deployment attempt. - Download the Windows ISO file from VLSC in [Microsoft 365 Admin Center (MAC)](https://admin.microsoft.com/) or [MSDN](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/index.html). You can also download the ISO from the [Microsoft Software Download Center](https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10) provided that you have a license key to deploy the package. - Ensure that the editions, architecture, version, and OS languages of your target computers are the same as the downloaded ISO file. #### Deploying Windows update component restore patch using Patch Manager Plus | Operating System | Version | Update ID | Description | |---|---|---|---| | Windows 10 | 22H2 | 110870 | Windows update component restore for Windows 10 (22H2) | | | 22H2 | 110041 | Dependency Patch for Windows 10 (22H2) - October 2022 Update (x64) (Manual Upload Required) | | Windows 11 | 21H2 | 111125 | Windows update component restore for Windows 11 (21H2) | | | 21H2 | 109021 | Dependency Patch for Windows 11 (21H2) - October 2021 Update (x64) (Manual Upload Required) | | Windows 11 | 22H2 | 111126 | Windows update component restore for Windows 11 (22H2) | | | 22H2 | 109939 | Dependency Patch for Windows 11 (22H2) - September 2022 Update (x64) (Manual Upload Required) | | Windows 11 | 23H2 | 111127 | Windows update component restore for Windows 11 (23H2) | | | 23H2 | 110951 | Dependency Patch for Windows 11 (23H2) - October 2023 Update for enterprise (x64) (Manual Upload Required) | | Windows 11 | 24H2 | 111893 | Windows update component restore for Windows 11 (24H2) (Deployment-Only) | | | 24H2 | 111894 | Dependency Patch for Windows 11 (24H2) - October 2024 Update for enterprise (x64) (Manual Upload Required) | | Windows 11 | 25H2 | 112755 | Windows update component restore for Windows 11 (25H2) (Deployment-Only) | | | 25H2 | 112734 | Dependency Patch for Windows 11 (25H2) Enterprise (x64) (Manual Upload Required) | **Note:** After deploying the Windows update component restore patches, restart the system before proceeding with any further deployments to ensure successful implementation. - In the product console, navigate to **Patches → Downloaded Patches → Upload Patches** and select **All Patches** in the filter. ![win-updates](https://www.manageengine.com/patch-management/images/troubleshooting-windows-updates-error-1.png) - Browse and select the required patch and click on **Upload** from the **Action** column. ![win-updates](https://www.manageengine.com/patch-management/images/troubleshooting-windows-updates-error-2.png) - Upload the ISO file, choose a Checksum type, and enter the checksum value. ![win-updates](https://www.manageengine.com/patch-management/images/troubleshooting-windows-updates-error-3.png) - Once the checksum is validated, click on **Upload**.
