failed download 26 times 23h2 code oxc1900223 how do i get this update to go through

The error code 0xc1900223 typically indicates that there is an issue with the update process, often related to missing or corrupted files. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

1. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter: This built-in tool can help identify and fix problems with Windows Update. You can find it in Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Update.
2. Check Disk Space: Ensure that you have enough free disk space for the update. Sometimes, insufficient space can cause updates to fail.
3. Reset Windows Update Components: You can manually reset the Windows Update components by running commands in the Command Prompt. This involves stopping the Windows Update service, renaming certain folders, and then restarting the service. Instructions for this can be found in various Microsoft support articles.
4. Use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) Tool: Running DISM can help repair the Windows image. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands:
   • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
   • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
   • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
5. Check for Corruption: Use the System File Checker (SFC) tool to check for and repair corrupted system files. Run sfc /scannow in an elevated Command Prompt.
6. Update Drivers: Ensure that all your device drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers, are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause issues during updates.
7. Check for Overheating Issues: Overheating can lead to system instability, including blue screens. Make sure your computer is well-ventilated, and consider cleaning dust from fans and vents. If overheating persists, it may indicate a hardware issue that needs to be addressed.

If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, you may want to consider contacting Microsoft Support for further assistance.

-Once done, restart the device and check.

If none will work from the above solutions work, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade, wherein it will update the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.
