The Windows Update error 0x80073712 typically occurs when a file needed by Windows Update is either missing or corrupt. This error prevents updates from installing correctly. Here are the common causes of this error:

Corrupted System Files:

If essential system files required for the update are damaged or missing, the update process fails. This could be due to sudden power loss, improper shutdowns, or disk errors.
Failed or Incomplete Previous Updates:

If a prior update did not complete successfully, it can leave the update system in an unstable state, causing subsequent updates to fail with this error.
Corrupted Windows Component Store:

The Component Store (WinSxS folder) in Windows stores important files needed for installing updates. If this store becomes corrupted, Windows Update will fail.
Disk Errors:

Issues with your hard drive, such as bad sectors, can lead to corruption of the files needed for updates.
Here are several steps to resolve the error:

Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

Windows comes with a built-in troubleshooter that can detect and fix common update-related issues.

Go to Settings - Update & Security - Troubleshoot - Additional troubleshooters, then select Windows Update and click Run the troubleshooter.

Run the System File Checker (SFC) and DISM:

System File Checker can repair corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type:

Copy code
sfc /scannow
After this completes, run DISM to repair the Windows image:

Copy code
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Check the Windows Component Store (WinSxS):

Sometimes, you may need to clean up the Component Store to repair it. Run the following command in an elevated Command Prompt:

Copy code
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
