2026-11 Security Update (KB5132061) (26300.9974)

This update downloaded but for over an hour it just keeps on saying that it's installing without doing so.

    Tried EVERY solution suggested.......EVERY LAST ONE. This MUST be on Microsoft's end because nothing works on one of my Windows 11 machines. It's just a whacked update.

    Same error here on one of the two Windows 11 I manage: 2026-11 Actualizare de securitate (KB5132061) (26300.9974) Eroare de instalare - 0x80070306 (sorry it's set in Romanian). As soon as I get access to the 2nd one, and if the same error will happen, I'll update my answer!

    LE: As I expected, on the 2nd Windows 11, same update: 2026-11 Security Update (KB5132061) (26300.9974) same Install error - 0x80070306!

    That is exactly what I did. I tried both downloading and installing it manually, as well as using Windows Update. The result is that all the computers in my home are showing the same error. And it’s not just me—it could be thousands, perhaps even millions of other people. This is the first time in the last six months that I’ve encountered an issue like this across all my computers. Please help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh9eW902CKo

    enter image description here

    I have tried all the suggestions you provided, including the "DISM" method you mentioned last; the situation remains the same for all of us. There are many others experiencing the same issue. Please help.Every time we try—whether via "Windows Update" or by manually downloading the file from Microsoft's own catalog page—it reports that the file is corrupt. Isn't it quite clear that the error lies with Microsoft?

    The strange thing is that the "Get Help" option has also stopped working. It just says "Could not be repaired."

    Hi, @Veryold Saint

    You're not alone. I experienced the same issue earlier.

    While in Settings > Windows Update, please open the Get Help app by following these steps:

    1. Scroll down and find "Get help".
    2. Click "Get Help" to open the app.
    3. Scroll down and look for "Troubleshoot problems with Windows updates".
    4. Click it, select "I can't download, install, or uninstall an update", and click "Yes".

    If it says "Problem detected", please return to Settings > Windows Update and check whether any download or installation is in progress. Allow it to finish.

    If the issue persists, please repeat the steps above.

    Click "Add comment" to let me know.

    Thanks!
