Hello,
I am using Windows 11 Home Single Language. Recently, I have been facing an issue where Windows Update always fails when I try to install the latest updates from Settings → Windows Update.
I have:
Reset Windows Update components
Checked my internet connection and available storage
Rebooted multiple times and tried updating again
Unfortunately, every attempt failed with the same update error Install error - 0x80070002
In the end, I was able to update Windows only by downloading the ISO file from Microsoft and performing an in-place update
This process is time-consuming, and I want a permanent fix so I can update normally from Windows Update in the future without having to use the ISO method.
Please suggest a permanent solution or any deeper troubleshooting steps to prevent this from happening again.
System Info:
Thank you.

Thank you for that information, if using the ISO to perform an in-place repair did not resolve the problem, open the Settings App, go to System - Recovery, click the 'Reinstall Now' button in the 'Fix problems with Windows Updates' section, then wait for that process to complete.
