KB5068861 Update Not Installing Install Error Code 0x80071a2d Windows 11 FIX

Here are the causes of the Windows 11 KB5068861 update failing to install with Error Code 0x80071A2D.
This error is less common, but when it appears, it points to interference, corruption, or interruptions in the update transaction process.

What Error 0x80071A2D Means

Error 0x80071A2D indicates:

“A transactional operation failed or was interrupted.”

This happens when Windows tries to apply the KB5068861 update, but something prevents the required system changes from completing.

Common Causes of Error 0x80071A2D
1. Corrupted system transaction logs

Windows uses internal logs to track update operations.
If these logs are corrupted or incomplete, the update transaction cannot be committed.

This is one of the most frequent causes of 0x80071A2D.

2. File system corruption or disk errors

If Windows Update tries to modify files on a drive with:

bad sectors

corrupted NTFS metadata

missing indexes

drive integrity errors

…the transaction may fail and trigger error 0x80071A2D.

3. Interference from antivirus or security software

Security tools may:

lock files used by the update

block writes to protected directories

terminate update processes

This causes the update transaction to fail mid-operation.
