What this error means
This often appears when a file needed for an update or install is corrupted or your drive has read/write errors.
Try these fixes first
- Restart your PC and retry the update/install.
- Free up disk space (aim for 10+ GB free).
- Try downloading the update again (corruption can occur in transit).
Advanced steps
- Run disk check: chkdsk /scan (Command Prompt as Admin).
- Run: sfc /scannow
- Try installing the update manually from Microsoft Update Catalog (optional).
Still stuck?
If none of the steps above worked, here are the next best actions:
- Take note of the exact error code and what you were doing when it appeared.
- Restart your PC and try the same action again (updates/install).
- If this is Windows Update, consider resetting Windows Update components (we can add the full copy/paste script next).
