Why Windows 11 KB5058411 Won’t Download

If Windows updates won’t download or is stuck installing, there could be various reasons behind this issue. One of the most common reasons for update failures is insufficient disk space. Ensure that your device has enough free space to accommodate the updates.

Unstable or slow Internet connections can cause problems during the download or installation of updates. Make sure your internet connection is stable.

Corruption in the Windows Update components can lead to update failures. Antivirus or security software can interfere with the update process. Temporarily disable or configure your security software to allow Windows updates.

• Internet Problems: Unstable or slow connections disrupt downloads.
• Insufficient Storage: The update needs ample free space on your C: drive.
• Corrupted Files: Damaged update caches can stall the process.
• Service Glitches: Windows Update components might be malfunctioning.
• Software Interference: Antivirus or network tools can block access.

Check Your Internet Connection

A slow or sluggish internet connection causes the update process to stop or slow down gradually. Especially since KB5058411 is large in size and requires a consistent connection to Microsoft’s servers. Dropped packets or low bandwidth might leave you stuck at 0% or trigger timeout errors like 0x800704cf.

• Restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds, or connect via an Ethernet cable for stability.
• Test your speed at a site like Speedtest.net—aim for at least 5 Mbps download speed.
• You can run the Ping command ping google.com -t to check your internet connectivity.

Now, Open Settings > Windows Update > Check for Updates to retry the download.

Free up some disk space

If your C: drive is clogged with files, KB5058411 won’t have the room it needs to download and unpack—typically around. You might see errors like 0x80070070 indicating insufficient space, stalling the update before it even starts.

• Go to Settings > System > Storage.
• Turn on Storage Sense to auto-clear junk or manually remove temporary files, old downloads, and unused apps.
• Uninstall unused programs or apps. Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Select the program or app you want to uninstall and click Uninstall.

Clearing space provides the necessary room for the update to download and install smoothly. Lets check and try install the update again.

Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter

Windows 11 includes a handy troubleshooter that can sniff out and fix common update problems, like stuck downloads or misconfigured services, without you digging into technical details. Run the Windows update troubleshooter, and let Windows detect and fix the problems to prevent Windows update installation.

• Navigate to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other Troubleshooters.
• Click Windows Update > Run the Troubleshooter.
• Let it scan and apply fixes, then restart your PC if prompted and check for updates again.

This tool automatically detects and resolves service or cache issues, restoring the update process.

Reset Windows update components

Corrupted update files or stalled services, like the Windows Update service (wuauserv), can silently block KB5058411, leaving you with errors like 0x800f081f. Resetting these components wipes the slate clean.

To do this first, we need to stop the Windows update service:

• Press Windows key + R, type services.msc and click ok,
• Scroll down and locate the Windows update service, right-click on it, and select stop.

Let’s clear the temporary files and folders associated with Windows Update.

• Open the file explorer using Windows key + E,
• Navigate C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
• Delete all files and folders inside the download folder. To do this use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A to select all then use the delete key.

Note: Don’t worry about these files. Windows updates download fresh ones next time you check for updates.

Now, again, open the Windows service console using services.msc and start the Windows update service.

This clears the update cache and restarts essential services, ensuring a fresh download attempt.

Temporarily Disable Third-Party Antivirus

Overprotective antivirus or firewall software, like Norton or Bitdefender, can mistake KB5058411 download for a threat, blocking it and causing errors like 0x80070643.

• Open your antivirus app and turn off real-time protection (check its settings or system tray icon).
• Head to Settings > Windows Update and attempt the download again.
• Re-enable protection once the update’s installed.

This prevents third-party interference, allowing the update to flow through unimpeded.

Perform a Clean Boot

Background apps or services might conflict with the update process, slowing or stopping KB5058411 download. A clean boot starts Windows with minimal drivers and programs, ruling out interference.

• Press the Windows key + R and type msconfig in the Run box. Click on OK.
• In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab and check the box that says Hide all Microsoft services. Then click on Disable All.

• Go to the Startup tab and click on Open Task Manager.
• In the Task Manager window, go to the Startup tab and disable all the items that are enabled. Close the Task Manager window.
• Go back to the System Configuration window and click on Apply and OK.
• Restart your device and try to download and install the update again.

This isolates the update process from potential software conflicts, ensuring a smooth download.

Run SFC and DISM Commands

Corrupted system files can prevent updates from being applied, causing KB5058411 to hang or fail with errors like 0x800f0922. System File Checker (SFC) and Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) can repair these issues.

• Open the command prompt as administrator,
• Type sfc /scannow and press Enter, wait for the scan to finish (repairs system files).
• Next, run DISM command dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup to fix the Windows image.
• Wait a few minutes, and let the scanning process complete. This restores system integrity, fixing underlying issues that block the update.
• Restart Windows. Now, check for updates again.

Change DNS to Google’s Servers

If Microsoft’s servers are unreachable due to DNS glitches, switching to Google’s reliable DNS (8.8.8.8) can get the download rolling again, especially if you’re seeing network errors like 0x80072ee7.

• Press Windows + R, type ncpa.cpl and click ok,
• Right-click on the active network adapter and select properties.
• Select Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click properties,
• Here, select the radio button “Use the following DNS server addresses” and set the preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4
• Checkmark on Validate Settings upon exit, click ok and apply
• Now again, check for updates.

Download KB5058411 Manually from Microsoft Update Catalog

Still, Windows Update can’t help you download certain system updates. Try doing so on your own. Microsoft has put all its system updates online, and you can download these updates and install them on your computer without the help of Windows Update.

• On a web browser, visit Microsoft Update Catalog.
• Search for the update using its Knowledge Base reference number (KB number). For example, KB5058411.
• Click the Download button for the version of Windows 10 you are using.
• You can find your system configuration under ‘System type’ on Settings > System > About page.
• A pop-up window will appear after the download button is triggered.
• Click on the .msu file to download it.

Finally, double-click a .msu file to install the update manually and a system reboot is required to finish the installation.

This bypasses Windows Update’s quirks, delivering the update straight from Microsoft’s source.
