Hi Ron, thanks for sharing the details. That error usually means some system components required for the update are missing or corrupted, which blocks the installation. Let’s start simple: run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and then sfc /scannow again to make sure the component store is clean. After that, clear the Windows Update cache by stopping the update services, renaming the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folders, and restarting the services. If it still fails, there’s a known issue with the en-US language pack on LTSC 2021—have you installed any additional language packs? If yes, we might need to temporarily switch or remove one. Also, would you prefer trying a manual install from the Microsoft Update Catalog if these steps don’t work?
