2022-02-24T13:35:43+00:00 No don't bother buying Restoro as I did that and yes it cleared my registry a bit but no it didnt work and still had the 2022-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5010414) Install error - 0x800f0831.
So Save you money on that I am going to have to just restore the damn system unfortunately.

What I was shocked about is that official MS support advised me to a page where the #1 suggestion was this.
DO NOT ever spend money on software that claims to do what this claims to do. Sorry to hear you lost your money to it, I just hope you weren't also instructed there by MS live chat.

thanks

I am desperate, I tried all the solutions I could find, which got me to actually being able to open windows security, but then I had the blank app opening. I downloaded the ISO, installed, but the problem still persists. I have no windows security...
