Windows 10 Home Update Troubleshooter not working

Windows Updates are failing to install.

KB5065429 also KB5066198

The 'Update Troubleshooter', after running said it could not identify the problem. I've run sfc /scannow. Also 'dism.exe /online /cleanup-Image /restorehealth' which reports that a source file is missing. I mounted a 'windows.iso' file (Drive F) then ran 'dism.exe /get-imageinfo /imagefile:F:\sources\install.wim' which runs and reports an 'Error 2'.

Please help>

Hi David,

What was the error code reported when you tried to install the latest quality update?

A repair installation using the Media Creation Tool should resolve most of the update-related errors.

Your apps, settings, and files will be kept by default during a repair install/in-place upgrade.

    Hello Ramesh,

    Sorry, as the time of my last message, I had not done a repair Install. I now have done a Repair Install and the version number is now 19045.3803.

    Thanks.
