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

    • Exactly! Without those fundamentals you've mentioned, Democracy is literally just Demonstration of Crazy, nothing to be proud of in such system.
    • Still I see almost no ads in mobile Edge unlike Chrome. So their browser is much better at blocking ads than Chrome and it is a fact. It even blocks ads on YouTube and you can add simple custom block filters. Also, Edge still support manifest v2 on desktop, so I'll look for another browser when I start seeing ads again.
    • Considering they consistently release a new version every year, I think it makes perfect sense. There is a minor pain point at the time of the change, so as long as they only change it once, we get over it and end up in a better place. The issue with MS' naming scheme is that they change their mind so frequently. 3.1, 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 10, there is no consistency. That was the issue, not the choice of naming the OS after the year. Minor correction: Windows 7 was 6.1. Even Windows 10 was version 6.4 at launch, but they retroactively changed it to 10.0 early on, along with an announcement that they would no longer track the kerel version and OS version separately...then proceeded to call Windows 11 version 10.0.2, so yeah, MS sucks at naming.
    • I don't think there is any problem with the two-digit number. Even if someone didn't understand the meaning, 26 > 18, so they will still understand at a glance that it is a newer version. The only downside I see is someone assuming 18 is a MUCH older than 26, but IMO, that confusion really isn't a big issue. The truth is that the majority of software companies use the 2-digit number; Microsoft is the outlier, and even they used 2-digit numbers in the past.
    • So, now it can give inaccurate answers and peddle lies in an even more human sounding voice? :)
