Of the questions that do exist with answers, most of them suggest reinstalling. However, none of them had accepted answers. Other existing questions ask about this particular error code. While KB4471332 fails with 0x800f0922, EFI partition is over 500MB has had an answer submitted, it was never accepted, and I already ruled it out as a possible solution. Due to the length, it is far too large to provide in the body of this question. If anyone is interested in the Windows Update Log for the unsuccessful attempt, you can find that here. I never actually checked on the status of the updates and assumed the updates had successfully been installed. I have been unable to install any update for about a month, distributed through Windows Update. The issue is probably not widespread, considering that it seems to occur only on systems on which a system administrator has uninstalled Microsoft Edge.So I ran into an interesting problem today that I had not seen before, and it took a while before I realized what was causing it. Both solutions should resolve the error when installing the cumulative update for Windows 10. If it is, delete the folder on the device and restart the update using Windows Update.Īnother solution is to install Microsoft Edge manually before running the update. The solution is simple: check if the folder exists and if it is empty. This command on the other hand leaves the empty folder behind:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\90.0.818.56\Installer\setup.exe -uninstall -system-level -verbose-logging -force-uninstall "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\90.0.818.56\Installer\setup.exe" -uninstall -system-level -verbose-logging -force-uninstall The folder remains on the system if the path is listed without "" in the uninstallation command. The cumulative update attempts to install Microsoft Edge on the device, but fails when it recognizes the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\, even if that folder is empty. Our colleagues over at the German Deskmodder site did some digging and found out that the error is thrown frequently on systems on which Microsoft Edge has been uninstalled to bring back legacy Microsoft Edge. Microsoft does not list the error in the known issues of the update's support article, and it may be difficult to figure out why the error is thrown during installation of the update for the operating system. Microsoft lists four known issues, but all of them affected previous versions of the operating systems as well. The update is a security update for the operating system. KB5003173 was released on the May 2021 Patch Day by Microsoft for Windows 10 version 2004 and 20H2.
