Windows 11 Update KB5058411 Not Installing Error 0x80248007 FIX
The Windows 11 update error 0x80248007 when trying to install KB5058411 means that Windows Update is missing important metadata or can’t access required update information from the update servers. This error often points to incomplete or corrupt update files, failure to read update descriptions, or issues with Windows Update services.
⚠️ Causes of Error 0x80248007 When Installing Update KB5058411
🔹 1. Corrupted or Missing Update Metadata
Windows stores metadata (info about updates) locally. If that data is damaged or missing, the system won’t know how to properly download or install the update.
Fix:
Clear the Windows Update cache:
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
net start wuauserv
net start bits
2. Windows Update Services Are Disabled or Not Working
If essential services like Windows Update or BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) are not running, the update process can’t fetch or validate metadata.
Fix:
Make sure these services are running:
Press Win + R, type services.msc
Ensure these are set to Automatic:
Windows Update
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
Cryptographic Services
3. Pending Restart or Stuck Update
If a previous update is waiting for a restart, it may block KB5058411 or cause metadata to appear invalid.
Fix:
Restart your PC completely (avoid sleep or hibernate).
Then try installing the update again.
4. Windows Update Agent Is Outdated or Glitched
An outdated Windows Update component can cause this error, especially if it can't handle the new metadata formats.
Fix:
Install all other available updates first, including the Servicing Stack Update (SSU).
Then retry KB5058411.
