    In the meantime, please follow the workaround below

    Workaround

    Log in to the affected machine and conduct the following steps:

    1. Copy the files viostor.inf and vioser.inf to C:\Windows\INF from:

    C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\viostor.inf_amd64_4b7257e3cb809845

    C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\vioser.inf_amd64_4b1c86b19cf7dd94

    2. Run "regedit" and add two registry entries:

    • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\viostor] "Owners"=hex(7):76,00,69,00,6f,00,73,00,74,00,6f,00,72,00,2e,00,69,00,6e,00,66,\ 00,00,00,00,00 ; * Which is actually read as viostor.inf
    • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VirtioSerial] "Owners"=hex(7):76,00,69,00,6f,00,73,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,69,00,6e,00,66,00,00,\ 00,00,00 ; * Which is actually read as vioser.inf

    3. Reboot the Operating System.

     

    4. Allow the administrator user, under which the tests are performed, to modify the content of the registry in the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DeviceIds:

    • Run "regedit" and browse to the mentioned path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DeviceIds
    • Right-click over DeviceIds key and click "Advanced"
    • Change the "Owner" to the user which is performing this test
    • Set "Access" as "Full Control"



    5. Apply the attached registry patch (mods.reg):

    • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DeviceIds\{4d36e97d-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}] "vioser.inf"=- "vioser.inf"=hex(0):
    • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DeviceIds\{4d36e97b-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}] "viostor.inf"=- "viostor.inf"=hex(0):

    6. Revoke the given permission in step 4

    •  Run "regedit" and browse to the mentioned path:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DeviceIds
    •  Set up the ownership to "Administrators".

    7. Restart the system

    8. Re-try the updates that were failing
