I am currently getting error 0x800736b3 when installing the 2024-11 Cumulative Update, this seems to be related to something else that is installed but I am not sure.

When running the update as standalone installer, it just says the following update could not be installed and I have run it as a logged install, but I cannot make any real sense of the logs, it says DownloadJob failed to init a few times, but it does not say what it tries to download

I am wondering if I could take the update in steps to check what is really failing, like running each KB update individually

Make sure to execute Sfc /scannow command from admin command prompt.


Use Windows Update Troubleshooter.

  • Click on Windows Update and select Run the troubleshooter



Download Windows updates manually.

Thanks for the tips, I have tried sfc first and then the Windows Update Reset script and neither fixes the issue with the Standalone Update package

I am beginning to suspect that the update fails due to a permission problem or whatever that does not even relate to Windows Update

You can also perform in-place upgrade of Windows 11. In-place upgrade is to use to replace the current operating system files on your computer. Unlike a clean installation of Windows, you can start a Windows in-place upgrade when your OS is still running. And an in-place upgrade can keep your files, settings, & apps during the upgrade process. You can perform a Windows 11 in-place upgrade is to use the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool. Make sure to select Upgrade this PC now and click Next. Follow the on-screen guide to perform a Windows 11 in-place upgrade.

I would prefer not to do that, the computer is my office laptop, so if I cannot resolve the issue with "simple" steps, I will probably give it to the support team and they should fix it

Are you saying you downloaded from the catalog?
If so you need to download both files then install in this order.

yes, I have downloaded both files and am currently failing on the 2nd one (the other one says it needs a prerequisite)

Error 0x800736b3 is ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_NOT_FOUND.

Part of your WinSxS folder is corrupted, and is not a problem with the update files. Your IT team should do a repair reinstall since your last successful update was Oct 2024.

I think the repair install option is a good option to try to resolve the issue
