KB5020044 not installing on Windows 11
While installing update KB5020044 for Windows 11, error 0x8007371 appeared. I couldn’t find anything useful on the web on this subject, so I decided to ask for help here. Maybe someone has already tried to install this update and came across the same error. Until recently everything was updating without any issues, no errors. However, I just recently installed Windows 11, so I haven’t installed that many updates.
