KB5030651 Cumulative Update Preview FAILS to install

Hey folks,

KB5030651 Cumulative Update Preview FAILS to install


I have tried almost everything,



Its also a brand new install of 11, so its fresh but this update constantly fails to install, tried updating in WU and also manually as well apart from all those options in the ove links.

Is there any way to remove this update from appearing or any other way to force its install.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can it be that it is already installed?

May I ask where this update comes from?
The event log shows that you already have the

kinds of hardship to allot of users. IF you really want to install this one
then:

I'm not being offered that one yet, last Framework update was on 9/12/2023.

Update history shows a ton of failures only to this update

Folks is there anyway to remove it from appearing in the windows update catalog on my PC? It lloks like for whatever reason it wont install, its a fresh install of 11 and everything works flawlessly as far as OS workings are concerned, maybe I need to conceide on this one, is there a way to remove it and ignore the update ?

I have checked the prerec's of this update and I have the appropriate .net files, just fails to install!!

Please, don't install. It will most likely be revised next week when the Official updates are
delivered to your PC.
It's a Preview. Do not become a Beta tester for MS.



I always Pause the updates for at least two weeks after the updates come to every ones PC.
This prevents me from having to find solutions to MS' mistakes.

If you click on the little arrow on the Right of your screen shot, that update will not appear.
Please, just ignore it.

It hasn't installed yet. It failed to install.
Next week , when we get / you get, the Real updates from Windows Update
then, it will install. Please do not install this Preview or Any preview update Ever.

Ok I guess im ignorning this until the real updates appear, does this one drop off the failed list when the newer updates arrive or will it show in my updates forever, or does it just dissapear when newer updates supersede it ??

Nope, it will stay there and shows as a failed update but, does that matter?
What really matters is that, you can use your PC in a safe manner and enjoy
what you are doing. Do not run high blood pressure over such a trivial thing.

Example:
Intel tried to install an update and failed the first time but, succeeded the second time around.
It's no big deal. the PC will still work as intended.

Don't be angry. The only way to get rid of it is to re-install Windows and the update history
will start from the date that you have re-installed the OS.
I've had to re-install the OS on the 28 of June this year and the update history starts on that date.
