Causes

Some of the possible reasons for this issue could be:

  • Reboot Pending
  • Multiple Tasks running during installation
  • Corrupted Component Store

Resolution

  1. Reboot pending in the system.

    • If the problem still persists, navigate to C:\Windows\WinSxS\ , delete all the files with name starting with "pending.xml****" and redeploy the failed patches.
    • Delete all BITS jobs
      • Run CMD as an administrator and execute the following command:
        powershell.exe "Gets-BitsTransfer|Remove-BitsTransfer"
    • Restart the system.
    • Redeploy the failed patches.
  2. Stop all the tasks and re-deploy the failed patches.
