Windows Update Standalone Installer Error 0x8007000d when installing a cumulative update


Question

Hi there, I'm on an HP Pavilion x360 runnin Windows 10 1607 14393.0. I'm trying to download an update to 14393.576 due to some bugs in the current system that is making my battery life shorter. I went ahead and downloaded the cumulative update KB3206632 on the Update Catalog, but when I installed it, it gave me a message "Installer encountered an error: 0x8007000D the data is invalid." This only happens when I install cumulative updates. Security updates and other patches go through WUSA. I'm using the standalone installer as it takes a while for the built-in Windows Update to download the updates. Doing a Google search gets me nowhere. It's an almost 2 months old PC so I don't believe there's nothing *too* corrupted yet here.

 

Anyone have ideas on how to get around this? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

You could go the longer route by downloading the latest ISO (it includes all updates till Nov afaik) and just 'upgrade' :) When you have downloaded the ISO, right click on the file and choose "mount" then you won't have to burn it or setup a USB key, it should upgrade without issue since it also does all the necessary checks.

yep, it's activated, alright; no issues with that part on my laptop. What I'm trying to figure out is what's causing the error code, and why it only appears on cumulative updates. Thanks anyway! :)

I shall try that, Steve. Thank you so much. I just want to get out of this build that's giving my laptop shorter battery life, feels like it's broken though its really not :|

If you haven't already, do sfc /scannow from the Command Prompt (Admin) first. Get to it by right clicking on Start.

Did that too, yeah. It found that there were "some corrupted files" (how?) but it failed to fix them. DISM takes a while too, due to my slow internet connection. So it seems downloading the ISO from scratch seems to be a good way here :)

Found similar issues, but it's with the built-in Windows Update. They encounter the same error code, and all they did was stop Windows Update in Services, delete everything in Software Distribution, and reran Windows Update. I don't know if this information helps with my issue as I'm relying on WUSA, but then again there may be a pattern. :p

    • KB5060829: Microsoft confirms new upcoming Windows 11 24H2 feature is triggering Firewall by Sayan Sen At the end of June, Microsoft released Windows 11 setup and recovery updates (KB5062233/ KB5060843/ KB5062197/ KB5061090) following the month's non-security previews for 24H2 (KB5060829) and 23H2/22H2 (KB5060826). Today, the company has confirmed that KB5060829 is causing some troubles for systems in regards to Firewall. Microsoft says that IT admins and system admins may notice a recurring error entry in the Security event log related to Windows Firewall With Advanced Security wherein the Event Viewer records event ID 2042, labeled “Config Read Failed” with the message “More data is available” each time the device restarts. Although logged as an error, the tech giant notes that this entry does not indicate a malfunction of the Windows Firewall and as such it can be "safely ignored and disregarded," and that Windows Firewall continues to enforce rules and filter network traffic normally as intended. Microsoft assures that "there is no impact to Windows processes associated to this event." IT support teams and even general users often rely on error-level event entries to detect misconfiguration and other issues (Microsoft itself recommends you do so), so unexpected log noise can trigger unnecessary alerts like these. Interestingly, in this case, the logged event stems from an upcoming feature as Microsoft notes that the "event is related to a feature that is currently under development and not fully implemented." No additional information regarding this new feature has been provided at this time. For those who prefer a cleaner log, administrators can filter out event 2042 in Event Viewer or via PowerShell. In Event Viewer, create a custom view filtering out ID 2042 under the Security log and in PowerShell, use the Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable parameter. Microsoft says that the team is currently working on a fix and an update will be released later. However, no ETA has been shared today. You can find the issue entry here on Microsoft's official Windows Health dashboard website.
    • Concerning the situation at XBOX (title cancellations, studio closures and firing employees): The management at MS gaming division (Booty, Spencer etc.) has to go. Money and time has been wasted in such amounts that those people have to be held accountable and better managers can take the lead. In most other businesses this would have happened ten years or so ago.
    • Why, because different bothers you? You aren’t using the OS per your own admission so why is it a shame? It’s a great way to focus imo.
    • People often hate on what they don’t understand. It’s not stupid, it’s different. That said, ignorance more often than not rules the roost, so it is seen as stupid instead. How much time have you spent learning how to use macOS as intended before making your proclamation?
