On the other hand, if you recently encountered errors 0x80073701 and 0x800f0988 when installing the latest cumulative update, you might be in luck. Updates that failed to install aren’t something entirely new, as similar problems have been encountered with many other cumulative updates that Microsoft released in the previous months.įixing these failed installs isn’t something very straightforward, pretty much because Microsoft rarely acknowledges them. Unfortunately, issues experienced either during or after the installation of cumulative updates have become something rather common on Windows 10, and living proof is the very first cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1909 (November 2019 Update) that fails to install for some.
