Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Here are some steps you can try:

1. Ensure all previous updates have been installed. Sometimes, pending updates can cause conflicts.
2. Reset Windows Update Components:

• Open an elevated command prompt and run the following commands one by one:

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

3. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters and run the Windows Update troubleshooter.

4. Check Secure Boot Settings:

• Ensure that Secure Boot is properly configured. Misconfigurations can sometimes cause update issues, especially after applying security mitigations like Black Lotus.

5. Modify Registry Settings:

• Open the Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Secureboot

• Add or modify the AvailableUpdates DWORD value to 0x30 and restart your computer.

6. Ensure that the revocations have been applied correctly. You can check for Event IDs 1035 and 276 in the Event Viewer to verify the updates.
7. Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with updates. Temporarily disable your antivirus and try updating again.
