The update fails, the system rolls back, and you&#8217;re left guessing.

Below are targeted solutions based on real symptoms seen in Microsoft\u2019s official guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. If the Update Is Stuck in &#8220;Pending&#8221; State<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a failed driver operation gets stuck and blocks the rest of the update chain. You\u2019ll usually find entries like this in the CBS.log file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Failed reading Identity for driver operation sequenceID 1 [HRESULT = 0x80070490 &#8211; ERROR_NOT_FOUND]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Registry Editor. Navigate to<br>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Component Based Servicing\\DriverOperations\\1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right-click on the 1 key and delete it. Then run this command in an elevated Command Prompt<br>sc config trustedinstaller start=auto<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restart the computer and try the update again from Windows Update.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. If the Servicing Stack Update (SSU) Is Failing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Servicing Stack Updates are required before other updates can be installed. If the SSU itself fails, other updates may get stuck behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the CBS.log file to confirm errors like<br>Failed loading driver operations queue [HRESULT = 0x80070490 &#8211; ERROR_NOT_FOUND]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Registry Editor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to<br>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Component Based Servicing\\DriverOperations\\0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Export the key as a backup, then delete the 0 key \u2013 only if CBS.log confirms it&#8217;s causing the error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU) from the Microsoft Update Catalog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install the SSU, reboot the system, and retry the updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. If Feature Updates Are Not Installing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Feature updates (like version upgrades) may fail with error 0x80070490 if the SetupConfig.ini file is missing, malformed, or improperly configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check if the following file exists<br>C:\\Users\\Default\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Windows\\WSUS\\SetupConfig.ini<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it&#8217;s present and either empty or misconfigured, remove it or insert the following valid line<br>ShowOOBE=None<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure there are no spaces before or after the equals sign.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save the file and retry the upgrade via Windows Update or ISO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. If Cumulative Updates Fail<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cumulative updates may return 0x80070490 (often alongside 0x8e5e03fa) and fail during installation or rollback unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Open Command Prompt as administrator, then run:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DISM \/Online \/Cleanup-Image \/RestoreHealth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SFC \/Scannow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Then reset the update components:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>net stop cryptsvc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>md %systemroot%\\system32\\catroot2.old<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>xcopy %systemroot%\\system32\\catroot2 %systemroot%\\system32\\catroot2.old \/s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>del %systemroot%\\system32\\catroot2\\* \/q \/f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>net start cryptsvc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>net stop wuauserv<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ren %systemroot%\\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>net start wuauserv<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reboot and attempt the update again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. If Monthly Rollups Fail (Especially on Older Servers)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On older systems like Windows Server 2012 R2, rollup updates can fail due to missing or corrupted driver files required during servicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manually create the missing driver folder:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>C:\\Windows\\System32\\DriverStore\\FileRepository\\wvms_pp.inf_amd64_81d18de8dedd4cc4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Then copy all<\/strong> .inf <strong>files from this source directory (adjust path for your system):<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>C:\\Windows\\WinSxS\\amd64_wvms_pp.inf_*<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open Command Prompt and load the driver hive if needed:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>reg load HKLM\\DriverHive C:\\Windows\\System32\\Config\\DRIVERS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Then verify the driver is properly registered by checking this registry path:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\DriverHive\\DriverDatabase\\DriverInfFiles\\wvms_pp.inf<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t forget to unload the hive when finished:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>reg unload HKLM\\DriverHive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_Tips_Before_You_Try_Again\"><\/span>Additional Tips Before You Try Again<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"3f7d80\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #3f7d80;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" src=\"https:\/\/world-arabia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illuminated-keyboard-2686774_1280-1024x768.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4450 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world-arabia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illuminated-keyboard-2686774_1280-1024x768.avif 1024w, https:\/\/world-arabia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illuminated-keyboard-2686774_1280-300x225.avif 300w, https:\/\/world-arabia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illuminated-keyboard-2686774_1280-768x576.avif 768w, https:\/\/world-arabia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illuminated-keyboard-2686774_1280-16x12.avif 16w, https:\/\/world-arabia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illuminated-keyboard-2686774_1280.avif 1280w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the fix is about doing the basics right. Before diving into deeper troubleshooting, make sure you\u2019ve taken these smart precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back Up First, Always<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before editing the registry or changing system folders, back up your system. Even experienced users can make a mistake, and having a restore point or system image means you\u2019re not stuck if something unexpected breaks. It\u2019s a quick step that can save hours of recovery time later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Azure\u2019s Built-In Backup (If Applicable)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re working on a Windows Server or machine in Azure, take advantage of the snapshot feature. You can back up the entire VM directly from the Azure portal before making any changes. If anything goes wrong, rolling back is fast and painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reboot Before You Retry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Run updates after a fresh reboot. It might seem obvious, but it matters. Some background processes from previous update attempts or software conflicts can quietly interfere. Starting clean gives Windows the best shot at getting through the update without issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Multitask During the Update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid running heavy apps or tools while installing updates. It\u2019s not always the cause of failure, but it can lead to slowdowns or memory conflicts that get in the way. Let the update do its thing without distractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try the Microsoft Update Catalog<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve tried everything and Windows Update still fails, go manual. Head to the Microsoft Update Catalog, search for the KB number of the update you need, and download the standalone installer. It\u2019s a direct way to apply the patch without relying on Windows Update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Involve_Support\"><\/span>When to Involve Support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve already tried:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Resetting update components<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Running DISM and SFC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registry edits or file replacements,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026and you&#8217;re still stuck, it might be time to contact Microsoft support or escalate via WSUS (if you&#8217;re in an enterprise environment).

To make things easier, here\u2019s a no-fluff checklist of the main fixes we covered. You don\u2019t have to try every single one, but this list gives you a clear order to work through based on the symptoms you\u2019re seeing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove stale driver operations from the registry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repair SSU with a fresh install.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edit or remove SetupConfig.ini.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run DISM and SFC tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reset Catroot2 and SoftwareDistribution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restore missing driver files (if needed).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try manual installation from Microsoft Update Catalog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tackle them one at a time, check for progress after each step, and don\u2019t rush. Fixing update errors can be a bit of a process, but most people don\u2019t need to go beyond this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 0x80070490 error is annoying, yes, but it\u2019s not permanent. It\u2019s a symptom of a deeper conflict inside Windows Update\u2019s dependency chain. Whether it\u2019s a driver file that\u2019s missing, a registry key that\u2019s blocking progress, or a corrupted config file, the fix is usually well within reach once you know where to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need advanced tools or expensive software. Most of the time, solving it just takes a bit of patience and knowing which part of the update process to check first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1768900643064\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What does Windows error code 0x80070490 actually mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It usually means something went wrong during a Windows update, often related to drivers or corrupted update files. It doesn\u2019t necessarily point to one specific issue, which is why it\u2019s so frustrating.

In this case, Microsoft\u2019s own documentation recommends deleting specific DriverOperations keys that are left behind after failed updates. Just make sure to export a backup of any registry folder before making changes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1768900667903\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>I ran DISM and SFC, but the error is still there. Now what?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If DISM and SFC didn\u2019t clear it up, it usually means there\u2019s a deeper issue, like a broken configuration file or missing driver reference. At that point, go one layer deeper: check for an invalid SetupConfig.ini file, or reset the Windows Update components manually. Those fixes often do the trick when the basic repair tools don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1768900679505\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Do I need to reinstall Windows if I keep getting this error?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Not unless everything else fails. Reinstalling Windows is kind of the nuclear option, and in most cases, not necessary. Try every targeted fix first \u2013 removing stale registry entries, fixing corrupted system files, and resetting update folders.
