Hello Ashish Kumar Gupta,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Here are some general troubleshooting steps you can follow to try to resolve the issue:

1. Ensure All Prerequisites Are Met:

Make sure you have all the necessary prerequisites installed for the update. This may include other updates or specific software versions that need to be present on your computer.

2. Run as Administrator:

Try running the installer as an administrator. Right-click the installer file and select "Run as administrator."

3. Check for Windows Updates:

Make sure your operating system is fully up to date. Sometimes missing updates can cause issues with installing other software. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and check for updates.

4. Disable Antivirus Software:

Temporarily disable your antivirus software, as it may be interfering with the installation process. Remember to enable it again after completing the installation.

5. Clean Boot:

Try performing a clean boot to eliminate any software conflicts that might be causing the issue. This can be done by:

Pressing Win + R, typing msconfig, and pressing Enter.

In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab, check "Hide all Microsoft services," and then click "Disable all."

Go to the Startup tab and click "Open Task Manager."

Disable all startup items in Task Manager.

Go back to the System Configuration window and click OK, then restart your computer.

6. Check Installation Logs:

Sometimes the installer will generate log files that can help diagnose the problem. Look for any logs related to the installation process and review them for specific error messages.

7. Re-download the Installer:

Corrupted downloads can cause installation issues. Re-download the installer from the official Microsoft website to ensure you have a clean copy.
