Causes of Error 0x800f0991 for Update KB5060829 on Windows 11
1. Corrupted System Files
• Critical Windows system files required for update installation are damaged or missing.
• These files might be tied to the Component Store or Windows Servicing Stack, which manages updates.
2. 🔗 Missing or Broken Update Dependencies
• The KB5060829 update might rely on previous cumulative updates or servicing stack updates.
• If those updates weren’t installed or are partially corrupted, Windows can’t proceed and throws 0x800f0991.
3. Corrupted Component Store (WinSxS)
• The Windows Component Store holds all the system files for features and updates.
• If the store is damaged, it can block new updates from being processed correctly.
4. Incomplete Windows Servicing Stack
• The Servicing Stack is what prepares Windows to install updates.
• If it’s outdated or broken, updates like KB5060829 may fail even before full installation begins.
5. Failed Previous Update Attempt
• A previous attempt to install KB5060829 or another update may have left the system in a broken 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. Issues with Update Cache
• If the update cache (especially in SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2) is damaged or incomplete, it can trigger this specific installation error.
