How to Fix 0x800f0831 When Installing an Update?

Error 0x800f0831 pops up when installing a cumulative update for Windows 11. I’ve never seen any errors during Windows Update, so I don’t know what to do. I would appreciate if someone would help.

Solution

Error 0x800f0831 occurs because the Windows Update cannot find the manifest for the previous update.

Open a command prompt as administrator and run the following series of commands:

• DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /SCANHEALTH
• DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /CHECKHEALTH
• DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RESTOREHEALTH
• Sfc /Scannow

Reboot the PC.

Alternatively, you can download the required update directly from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
