[SOLVED] Windows 11 24H2 Update Issues with kb5048667 and kb5043080 -> Restarts, finds an issue and rolls it back

[semi]

Dear Sysnative Team,

thank you for reading into this. Since Windows 11 23H2 I am having issues with a few updates. Even though the update went through, on the forced restart my laptop found an issue and rolled the whole thing back.
I managed to inline upgrade to 24H2, but still, they are one update left, that brings up the same issue. kb5048667 which includes the kb5043080.

After some repair try with dism and sfc, the update now fails already when I try to install it. There is not even a reboot now involved.

Please take a look at the data, and let me know If you need anything else.
I am grateful for your support.

Cheers
Semi

[Update]
After a clean reboot, I tried once more. And now I am back that the kb5048667 gets installed without issues. But then on the reboot, something was not as expected, and the update got rolled back.
It did reboot twice with this error message, and the third reboot started up normal. In the attachment you can find the logs.
Thanks

According to Microsofts: January 14, 2025—KB5050009 (OS Build 26100.2894) Improvements:
This security update includes improvements that were a part of update KB5048667 (released December 10, 2024).

So I tried to install the KB5050009, which kind of inherits the KB5048667.
But also here, I got a smooth installation at first, but during the restart procedure,
I got again something unexpected followed by a rollback. In the history of the updates, I can read the error code: 0x800f0922

CBS logs from this try are in the attachment.

Thanks

[Problem got resolved]
I've finally managed to inline upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 3025 incl. the above mentioned updates with it.

Unfortunately I can't really tell, what exactly the issue was. But I used an UUP dump generated iso image, with some extra tweaks in its ConvertConfig.ini file.

[convert-UUP]
AutoStart    =1
AddUpdates   =1
Cleanup      =1
ResetBase    =1
NetFx3       =1

SkipLCUmsu   =0
SkipEdge     =1
AutoExit     =0
DisableUpdatingUpgrade=0
AddDrivers   =0
Drv_Source   =\Drivers

[Store_Apps]
SkipApps     =1

StubAppsFull =0
CustomList   =0

[create_virtual_editions]
vUseDism     =1
vAutoStart   =1
vDeleteSource=0
vPreserve    =0
vwim2esd     =1
vwim2swm     =0
vSkipISO     =0
vAutoEditions=

Without it, the upgrade failed and throw me an error 0x8007001F. So I read somewhere this could be related to some attached devices during the process.
I unhooked my docking station and my logitech dongle. Also somewhere in my logs it said, that the logitech software was trying to start, during a process, but failed with an error.
So I uninstalled all logitech apps as well.

The uup process took about twice as long as it did with the default settings.
I had some issues with uup not downloading everything correctly at first,
but the best results I got with, when I opened "powershell" as admin first.
My download package settings are:
Download method:

• Download and convert to ISO

Conversion options:

• Include updates (Windows converter only)
• Run component cleanup (Windows converter only)
• Integrate .NET Framework 3.5 (Windows converter only)
• Use solid (ESD) compression

Besides that, I ran like a kajillion times these dism commands:

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /AnalyzeComponentStore
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

In addition, I also cleaned all my other update/upgrade remains from my storage.

KB5012334—Delete the Windows.old folder using Storage sense in the Settings app​

Windows 11

1. Open Settings -> System -> Storage -> Temporary Files (wait for the scan to finish)
2. Select everything that is update/upgrade related i.e. Previous Windows installation(s)
3. Cleanup and wait for it to finish

After that, I got rid of the C:\$WINDOWS.~BT and Windows.old dir.
One final, clean reboot, and I:

1. mounted the "just" created iso image
2. opened "powershell" as admin
3. changed to the drive
4. and started the inline upgrade with the server command line options
5. .\sources\setupprep /product server

Installation took quite some time, the reboot install process was rather quick.

Thanks and good luck.
Cheers
