Windows 11
Hello,

For weeks now, I have been stuck on build June 11, 2025—KB5063060 (OS Build 26100.4351) Out-of-band.
Windows used to show me KB5060829 was available and ready to install, but it kept on failing at 7% and undoing changes with the error message Failed to install on ‎28/‎07/‎2025 - 0x80070002.

I can now see that I am 4 updates behind. Windows doesn't even offer the updates via the Windows Updater anymore Instead, I got a new update 2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5062660) (26100.4770).
This fails to download with an error message Download error - 0x80248014

I have tried just about everything online to the point that I think a clean install of Windows is my only option. Even the updater troubleshooter doesn't run!

After you do what @pseymour said, if the updates still fail, you can try these suggestions:

Make sure you have no corrupt system files that is causing this problem. Open a command prompt as administrator and type
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Restart computer

Then open command prompt as admin again and run sfc /scannow
Pay attention to the scan results to see if SFC found anything it could not repair

Still no luck, Do a repair install. This usually works when nothing else will. Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade Tutorial

Did you try doing a repair install which will hopefully take you to the latest release and preserve all your settings and configurations. Just select the "reinstall now" button.Screenshot 2025-07-28 154516.webp

Sadly nothing worked my only option was to reinstall Windows by keeps app and settings.
This allowed me to start kinda fresh and I was then able to install the latest update.
