Dear u/Daddy_Spez,
For reasons unknown, my computer has been refusing to install any Windows OS updates for many, many months now. Whenever I try to install the updates, it fully downloads and installs the update, and at the end of the process, bounces back with this message:
There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x800f081f)
Some of the errors I encountered in this previous post may have something to do with this one. The TL:DR is that my system had defective RAM and possible OS file degradation as a result: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/14hgp4z/im_getting_lots_of_bsods_due_to_either_drivers_or/
However, I ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and sfc /scannow, and found no problems. I’ve tried some basic troubleshooting techniques for this problem I found on Google, and came up dry.
I also have some drivers out-of-date which I haven’t been able to update, that may have something to do with this problem. Specifically, my AMD SMBus Driver, my MarVell AQtion 10GBit Network Adapter, and my RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E 160MHz driver.
Additionally, just in case this may have something to do with something, my RAM and CPU are both overclocked. Just your standard PBO and EXPO, nothing risky. At least, that’s how I feel about it.

Win 10 IoT 2021 user here, playing games and running all programs fine, no issues to be had. Private user. So…yeah…
Half my software won’t even work on Win10 anymore (older versions will), and a lot of the code i’m developing requires newer APIs and features (and services!) not in LTSC builds.
If you’re using the LTSC IOT version, that’s binary identical to mainline IOT. Expect things like adobe applications to stop working, and for a while the win10 versions of various games required newer releases than LTSC Was… and now some are W11 only. Staying on LTSC is a fool’s game in the end, while things might work “right now” … I can’t even install my headset or keyboard control software on LTSC. Running LTSC is like running embedded as your main system… because that’s what it’s designed/tooled for. Don’t even think of newer MS office support, etc…
If you’re using normal IOT Enterprise, then everything will “just work” since it’s identical to normal windows 10 enterprise.
