How to fix Windows 10 security updates that fail to install
In the recent patch update released by Microsoft, they claim to have dealt with some security issues on Windows. Although they also asserted that there were no known issues following the update, this statement is not viable as there were some errors during installation.
By following the steps below, you can manually fix the error shown when trying to install Windows 10 updates:
- Open the Start menu and type ‘cmd,’ and the Command Prompt will show up.
- From the search results, select ‘Run as administrator.‘
- In the Command Prompt, type the following command: Dism /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth.
- Following that, wait for it to complete, then close the window.
- In Settings, you can again search for Windows Updates.
Either wait for the automatic update to happen or try the manual installation again if the monthly update package poses any difficulties. Just make sure to follow the right steps, and you should be able to install it with ease.
Users dealing with this issue were urged by Microsoft to submit a report using the Feedback Hub. The company also suggested that affected customers refer to its support page for extra assistance in fixing any problems caused by a Windows update.
Furthermore, the company cautioned its clients about BitLocker drive encryption errors in Windows. Only OS and fixed drives that have had encryption enforced seem to be affected by the breakdown. The company is actively examining the matter to find out what’s causing the problem. Rest assured that an update will be provided once more information is made available.
Importantly, users who are still on Windows 11 (21H2) should upgrade their systems. That’s mainly because this version is no longer receiving the security updates that are usually released on Patch Tuesday.
