You will get this error when you’re trying to install a new build of Windows, such as Build 10074 or Build 10130, and some others as well, and you won’t be able to install said update due to the errors. The errors will appear seemingly out of nowhere, since there are no problems with your computer beforehand, but you will not be able to install the new builds no matter what you do. However, there are two ways you can go about this, and both have been confirmed to work with users. Try the first method first, and if it doesn’t work for you, move on to the other one. Make sure to follow the solutions word by word and carefully, since a typo, especially in the Command Prompt (which you’ll need) can do more harm than good.
Method 1: Check the regional and language settings
Due to unknown reasons, Windows Update has been quite a mess for users who haven’t set up their regional and language settings correctly, and often even the time and time zone settings as well. This results in updates not being able to install, or updates breaking the OS installation completely, etc. Fortunately, checking and fixing this is very easy.
Method 2: Manually reset the Windows Update components
If the Windows Update components get corrupted, you might have to reset them manually in order for the updates to be able to go through. Doing this requires an elevated Command Prompt, and care, because a mistake could be costly. OR

There are a lot of issues, and many users are reporting that they aren’t able to download or install updates. However, if you’re having any of the error codes above, using the methods will surely solve them.
