A component in the update could not be matched to the store

What it means

The update payload and the installed components do not line up, so the servicing engine cannot find the file it is supposed to patch.

Common causes

• A component store repaired from a mismatched source
• A partially installed earlier update
• Third-party tweaking tools that removed WinSxS content

How to fix it

1. Open Terminal (Admin) and run sfc /scannow, then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. Restart afterwards.
2. Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and repeat it until it reports no corruption.
3. Install the update again, and if it still fails use the latest ISO to run an in-place repair upgrade.
