Hi Rashik Rj,

Thanks for reaching out to the community.

Based on your description, you're having issue with code 0x7fffffff like the image below.

The error code 0x7fffffff is a hexadecimal value that can appear in various contexts, and its meaning depends on where and how it’s encountered. According to Microsoft documentation, 0x7fffffff is the highest possible success code in the HRESULT range used by COM (Component Object Model) APIs. In this context, it is not an error, but rather a success indicator. HRESULT values from 0x00000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF denote success, while values from 0x80000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF indicate failure

Refer to: Error Codes in COM - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn

However, within the **Windows Insider Program,**0x7fffffff has been observed as an error code. This seems to be a misinterpreted or misused value in certain update or preview build scenarios. This error can occur when preview build settings are misconfigured. I'd suggest a small workaround for you to try.

Open gpedit.msc
Navigate to:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business
Double-click Manage preview builds
Disable it, then re-enable it

This workaround has helped users resolve the issue when it appears during Insider Program updates.

Please give it a try and reach out to me if you have any question.
