Causes of error 0x800f0991 for the KB5060829 update on Windows 11

1. Corrupted system files

Critical Windows system files required for installing the update are corrupted or missing.

These files could be linked to the component store or the Windows servicing stack, which manages updates.

2. Missing or corrupted update dependencies

The KB5060829 update could depend on previous cumulative updates or the servicing stack. • If those updates were not installed or are partially corrupted, Windows cannot continue and generates error 0x800f0991.
3. Corrupted Component Store (WinSxS)
• The Windows Component Store contains all the system files for features and updates.
• If the store is corrupted, it can prevent new updates from being processed correctly.
4. Incomplete Windows Servicing Stack
• The servicing stack prepares Windows to install updates.
• If it is outdated or corrupted, updates like KB5060829 may fail even before the full installation begins.
5. Previous Failed Update Attempt
• A previous attempt to install KB5060829 or another update may have left the system in a corrupted or unstable update state.
6. Third-Party Interference
• Some antivirus programs or system optimization tools may interfere with how Windows Update accesses or modifies system files. 7. Update cache issues
• If the update cache (especially in SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2) is corrupted or incomplete, it may cause this installation error.
