Microsoft says Windows 10 security updates released during this month's Patch Tuesday may fail to install with 0x8007000d errors, although initially displaying progress.
On systems affected by this known issue running client platforms, the KB5031356 security update will fail to complete installation.
This confirms user reports surfacing since Tuesday, October 10, saying that downloading the update and trying to install it manually will also fail to deploy.
"Microsoft has received reports of an issue where Windows updates released October 10, 2023 fail to install. Devices might initially display progress, but then fail to complete installation," Redmond said.
"Based on our reports, some of the most common errors being encountered is Error 8007000D. This error can be found from the Windows Update view under System settings, by selecting Update History."
Earlier this year, the company fixed another issue impacting WSUS servers upgraded to Windows Server 2022, causing them to stop pushing Windows 11 22H2 updates to enterprise endpoints.
