    Same problem here! It goes until 100% and then fails. I've tried 10 or more times.

    So this is apparently a known issue. Microsoft told me they had a solution, I followed it, and now my days old $4000 ASUS laptop is trashed. Even ASUS cloud recovery can’t fix it.

    This greed in microsoft pursuing AI has thinned to nothing Windows engineering/QA and we are all left to suffer for it. Greedy SOBs.

    Same problem. Windows Update (KB5072033) (26200.7462) always fails. Manual installation also fails. Does anyone have any idea?

    I am hitting the same issue. Upon attempting the recommended steps above with DISM, I hit the following error :

    C:\Windows\System32> DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RESTOREHEALTH

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

    Version: 10.0.26100.5074

    Image Version: 10.0.26200.7171

    [==========================100.0%==========================]

    Error: 0x800f0915

    The repair content could not be found anywhere.

    Check the internet connectivity or use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the image. For more information on specifying a source location, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

    Upon examining the DISM log, I find :

    Any further recommendations? This is happening on brand new Asus ProArt system with Windows 11 Pro, 25H2, 26200.7171.
