In this post, we’ll walk you through some effective methods to fix it. You may not need to try them all; simply work your way down the list until you find the one that works for you.

Method 1: Run Windows Update Troubleshooter

Windows Update Troubleshooter is a built-in tool that automatically detects common issues preventing Windows updates. It’s a quick, low-effect first step that you can run easily.

1. Press Win + I simultaneously to open Settings.
2. From the left navigation panel, select System. Then click Troubleshoot.
   
3. Click Other troubleshooters.
   
4. Click on the Run button next to Windows Update.
   
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process. If it fails to identify the problem, try other fixes below.

Method 2: Turn off Windows Sandbox

Windows Sandbox, a lightweight, disposable virtual machine based on Hyper-V, allows users to run untrusted applications or browse websites in a fresh, isolated Windows environment. However, when it’s enabled, it may prevent Windows updates from being installed properly.

Windows Update needs to replace or patch core system files, and some of them are tied to Hyper-V or Sandbox. If it’s enabled or running, it can keep those files loaded in memory, preventing the installer from modifying or replacing them, triggering errors like 0x800f0922 or 0x80073712. Disabling this feature has proved to work for some users.

To rule out the cause of the issue you’re having, you can follow the steps below to disable Windows Sandbox:

1. Press Win + R simultaneously to open the Run box. Type control and hit Enter. This will open the Control Panel.
2. Click Programs. If you do not see it, make sure to set Category as your View by.
   
3. Click Turn Windows features on or off.
   
4. Locate Windows Sandbox, uncheck the box and click OK.
   
5. Now retry installing KB5062553 via Windows Update.
6. You may want to re-enable Sandbox if needed after the update completes and everything’s stable.

Method 3: Manually Install via Microsoft Update Catalog

If updates still fail to install on your system, try to manually install them via Microsoft Update Catalog:

1. Navigate to the Microsoft Update Catalog.
2. For most users, you can download 2025-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5062553).
   
   
   If you’re running Windows 11 24H2 on an ARM-based device, you’ll need to choose arm64-based (KB5062553).
   
   To confirm your OS version and architecture (like Version 24H2, 64-bit), press Win + X, select System. Then locate the information on your System type and Windows Version.
   
3. After downloading the update, install it using DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management).
   
   First, right-click your downloaded .msu update file (e.g., windows11.0-KB5062553-x64_…msu) and select Copy as path.
   
   
   Now open the Command Prompt as Administrator. What you have to do is press the Windows logo key to invoke Search, then type cmd. Right-click Command Prompt from the list of results and select Run as administrator.
   
   
   
   Type the base command, then paste your path.
   
   DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:
   
   Right-click in the Command Prompt window to paste the full path you copied. For instance, my downloaded update is at C:\windows11.0-kb5062553-x64_6fe34113fd31b773e8ecb31682dd95b1934be4c1.msu. What I do is type the following command line and hit Enter. DISM handles dependencies automatically if multiple needed files are in that folder.
   
   DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\windows11.0-kb5062553-x64_6fe34113fd31b773e8ecb31682dd95b1934be4c1.msu“
   
4. Wait for the update to install. Reboot when finished.

Method 4: Update Your Drivers

Outdated or incompatible drivers, especially graphics, storage, or network ones, can block Windows updates like KB5062553. These drivers may conflict with update processes or system files, causing installation failures or errors. Updating them removes those roadblocks and smooths the path for successful installation.

You can update drivers manually via Device Manager, or download the correct version from your device manufacturer’s website. However, both methods can be time-consuming and error‑prone.
