Windows 11 update error 0x800f081f

[FireHawk55]

I am having a problem installing (KB5043178) on my windows 11 pc.

I am using release insider version 26100.1742 ge_release.

DISM says everything is fine.
So does SFCfix.

I will upload the cbs archive as well as the SFCfix text file.

I'd really prefer not to do an in place upgrade if possible.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Some notes about using Insider Preview builds:

• Insider builds of Windows are preview (beta) releases which may contain bugs.
• When experiencing problems with such builds, please use the Microsoft Feedback HUB to report them to Microsoft.
• To resolve issues you can perform an in-place-upgrade using the latest ISO or an ISO which you can download from UUPdump.
• Please also note that some updates for Insider Builds are not available in the Windows Update catalog as stand-alone updates (MSU-packages).
• Note of Microsoft: "When choosing a channel, you should keep in mind how stable you need your device to be, what level of issues you can handle on your device, how early in development you'd like to see features and changes, and whether or not you need Microsoft support."
• Another important point is that issues with Insider Builds can be more complex or even completely unknown than regular problems with stable versions of Windows.
• Some tools developed by Sysnative are not (fully) compatible with Insider Builds.

I'd really prefer not to do an in place upgrade if possible.

If this is an important system that you can't simply restore with an in-place upgrade, I would leave the Insider Channel and use such builds only in a virtual environment.
