Hello,
I'm having trouble installing the following update.
2020-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4574727)
Windows update downloaded the 1903 version of this update, and failed, so I went to the catalog.update.microsoft.com site, and downloaded the 1909 version for this update. However it too failed to install.
Event viewer's Setup log shows the following error:
Windows update "Update for Windows (KB4574727)" could not be installed because of error 2147943005 "The specified buffer contains ill-formed data." (Command line: ""C:\WINDOWS\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\windows10.0-kb4574727-x64_3874e5f283185dab47b6564674946a5122d4a05c.msu" ")
System Log shows:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8007025D: Update for Windows (KB4574727).
Now worryingly, if I select the "Details" tab - the whole Event Viewer disappears....
I've scanned my system using "Avast" (which has the latest updates) - no issues reported.
I also tried reinstalling the update with "Avast" disabled. Exactly the same errors, and exactly the same crash of Event Viewer when trying to view the details of each error.
I think there's two log files within: C:\Windows\Logs\DPX
that may contain some further details, however I can't open them (file in use) so will try to access from a Safe Mode Commandline prompt.
Any thoughts as to what's going on ?
The PC is old - basic specs:
Motherboard: ASRock G41C-GS with Intel Core 2 Extreme Q6850 and 8GB DDR3 RAM and 64 GB Free disk space on the C drive partition, and NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT graphics card.
