Microsoft has released the Windows 10 KB5005932 setup update to fix '"PSFX E MATCHING BINARY MISSING" errors when attempting to install the latest cumulative updates.
After installing the May 25, 2021 and June 21, 2021 cumulative updates, some Windows 10 21H1, 20H2, and 2004 users have been unable to install the latest cumulative updates released as a preview or on Patch Tuesday.
When attempting to install the LCU, they are shown a "PSFX E MATCHING BINARY MISSING" error message, and the cumulative update fails to install.
The inability to install these updates is preventing devices from receiving the latest security updates and bug fixes.
"This compatibility fix enables an in-place upgrade to be run on devices that cannot complete the installation of the latest cumulative update," explains Microsoft in the KB5005932 support bulletin.
Users should note that Microsoft states that only ARM64 users need to install the KB5005932 update.
