KB5063523 install fails

Hi Tocguy,

I'm Cherrelyn, I'm here to help and I know how frustrating it is when an update like KB5063523 fails after multiple attempts. Since you’ve already done DISM, SFC, Safe Boot, and confirmed that the WinRE partition has enough space, the issue may be related to the motherboard swap or an underlying update misconfiguration.

Please try these suggestion:

1. Manually reset Windows Update components**:** Open Command Prompt as admin and run these commands one by one:

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

Then restart your PC and try the update again.

2. Rebuild WinRE manually: If the update still fails, WinRE might be misaligned after the hardware change. You can temporarily disable and re-enable it:

reagentc /disable

reagentc /enable

This often realigns the configuration and allows the patch to apply.

Let me know about my suggestion, I'm here to guide you for further assistance.

Warm regards,

Cherrelyn

All this was in preparation for my Wile E. Coyote moment of jumping off the cliff, i.e., the In-Place upgrade to Win 11.

Aaaaa aaaa aaa aa a ==|-

Oh, caught a branch. Huh, it went ... OK! I'm a little freaked out about that but in a good way.

Another of life's little mysteries; this KB now does not appear as a WUpdate nor does it appear in History.

The mentioned steps did not work for me , is this issue still an active one ?
