What to do if Win11 KB5007651 keeps installing

This time, we will introduce how to deal with the situation where KB5007651 is repeatedly installed on Windows 11.

KB5007651 is an update to the Windows Security Platform antimalware platform.

The latest version, KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2306.10002), released on July 5, 2023,Resolves the issue where the warning "Local Security Authority Protection is turned off" appearsThat was done.

However, we have recently received inquiries from users reporting that KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2306.10002) is being installed multiple times.

In this user's environment, the version of Windows Security remains old (Version 1.0.2303.28002-0), and updating to the latest version appears to be failing.

Latest version as of 2023/07/12 - Windows Security Service Version
Latest version as of 2023/07/12 – Windows Security Service Version

Here, I would like to introduce some effective solutions to solve this problem.

*If the update fails, the error "0x80070643" may be displayed.

I'll post the details of my inquiry here, as I think it will be helpful to everyone.

Inquiry:

Resolved? KB5007651 "Local Security Authority Protection is turned off."I originally tried to post this in the article, but image verification didn't work so I apologize for not posting it here.

In our environment, we are experiencing an issue where KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2306.10002) is being installed multiple times.
The same thing happened with KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2303.27001).
I tried using sfc /scannow and DISM commands but it didn't solve the problem.
I contacted Microsoft via chat and performed a repair install, but it didn't solve the problem. (After the repair install, I ran sfc /scannow, which apparently fixed the corruption.)
I tried disabling it with "net stop wuauserv" in PowerShell, clearing the cache by deleting the contents of the Download folder in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download, and then re-enabling it with "net start wuauserv," but this didn't solve the problem. After a repair install, KB4023057 would repeatedly install and put the computer in a pending restart state, but deleting the cache resolved the issue.
Additionally, I repaired and reset Windows Security from the app list, and also reinstalled Windows Defender by typing Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage in Windows PowerShell, but this did not solve the problem.

Microsoft has suggested that this could be a hardware issue. They say that a Windows update may be incompatible with your PC's drivers or hardware, and that this issue occurs when the drivers or hardware are unable to run the latest Windows 11 updates.
Microsoft has said that it expects the issue to be resolved in a future Windows update, commenting that "we're looking at a few months. It shouldn't reach six months."

One thing that concerns me is that the version of KB5007651 should match the Windows Security Service version of Windows Security, but in my environment it is 1.0.2303.28002-0.

In fact, in our environment, we upgraded from 10 to 11, so there were no warnings about Local Security Agency protection from the beginning.
I checked the registry editor and found that there was no registry key for this. It's supposed to be added when upgrading, but it seems to be a bug (Microsoft acknowledged this in the chat).
Specifically, when I looked at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa in the Registry Editor, I found that there were no RunAsPPLBoot or RunAsPPL items. So I selected "DWORD (32-bit) Value (D)" and created two items, setting their values ​​to 2.
"LSASS.exe was launched as a level 4 protected process" is now displayed in the Event Viewer.

Currently, we have tried almost everything we can to resolve the issue of repeated installations, but the only thing we can do is hide them using a tool.

At around 15:30, I set up a situation where the installation was repeated multiple times, and when I manually checked for updates, the installation of KB5007651 was recorded each time I checked (twice).

When I manually checked for updates at 20:12, they were installed again and again (7 times).

After performing the repair after 21:40, when I manually checked for updates, the installation of KB5007651 was no longer recorded no matter how many times I checked.

Specifically, it involves manipulating files and the registry.

Currently, we have only tested it in one environment, and the operation method is quite difficult and complex for the average person, so it will likely take some time to update the article.

  • >Currently, verification has only been carried out in one environment, and the operation method is quite difficult and complex for the average person, so it will likely take some time to update the article.

    I apologize for my Twitter response earlier. The Windows Security version on my PC is still 1.0.2207.20002-0, but if I use the solution above, will it be updated to 1.0.2306.10002-0?

    • Thank you, Arom@s3baw, for your comment on Twitter.

      The method described in this article is unlikely to solve the problem at this time.

      We have now tested a new method and found that the problem of multiple installations has been resolved.

      However, we have only tested it in one environment so far, and the operation method is quite difficult and complex for the average person, so it will likely take some time to update the article.

      I will test it in multiple environments and update the article once the test is complete.

        • Thank you, Arom@s3baw, for the detailed information.

          For reference, I have listed the version of Windows Security I am using.

          If you are using Windows Security only:

          Windows security application version: 1000.25873.0.9001
          Windows Security Service Version: 10.2306.10002-0
          Anti-malware client version: 4.18.23080.2006
          Engine version: 1.1.23080.2005
          Antivirus version: 1.397.724.0
          Antispyware version: 1.397.724.0

          If you are using ESET Internet Security:

          Windows security application version: 1000.25873.0.9001
          Windows Security Service Version: 10.2306.10002-0
          Anti-malware client version: 4.18.23070.1004
          Engine version: 0.0.0.0
          Antivirus version: 0.0.0.0
          Antispyware version: 0.0.0.0

          I'll try to verify the information you provided.

  • It's a mystery why image authentication sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
    Is it because of the text displayed that it doesn't work, or is there another reason? I'll try turning off ad blocking, as it may be more likely to cause problems.

  • I also ran "1.0.2303.27001-0" after "1.0.2303.28002-0", but the application version returned to 1000.25305,0.9000. Is this a good thing? Internally, it may have been repaired (if something was corrupted).

    Does Windows Security seem to have a lot of bugs internally?
    What bothers me is that SecurityHealthHost.exe doesn't seem to be listed in the Details tab of Task Manager. It's in the 1.0.2303.28002-0 folder, but the 1.0.2306.10002-0 folder is mostly empty. 1.0.2306.10002-0 is installed, but the version information is still 1.0.2303.28002.
    I can't even update it, so I guess it's bugged.

    • It's strange that the 1.0.2306.10002-0 folder is almost empty.
      You say that "SecurityHealthHost.exe" is not in the Task Manager, but it normally appears in the Details tab of the Task Manager when you open the Windows Security screen.

      I don't know much about the internals of Windows Security, but I'm sure there are bugs in the interface.

      I just checked the application events in the Event Viewer and found that there were three problems with my PC: "SecurityHealthService.exe," "ucrtbase.dll," and "ntdll.dll." "ucrtbase.dll" and "ntdll.dll" are important files for the Windows system.

      If you tinker with it too much, other problems will arise, so it's probably best to wait for Microsoft to fix it.

  • I also tried "1.0.2303.27001-0", but there was no change.
    After this, would there be any problem if I try "1.0.2303.28002-0" again? Or is it even necessary?

    In May, KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2303.27001) was being downloaded repeatedly.
    I think 1.0.2303.28002 was installed at that time.

  • The 1.0.2306.10002-0 folder contains only the ca-ES folder, which is empty. Therefore, Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe does not exist.

    For the time being, I tried running Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe from 1.0.2303.28002-0. But nothing changed.
    I haven't done this for 1.0.2303.27001-0, but if I run the version in 1.0.2303.28002-0, do I need to do this? Also, are there any problems with running Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe, which was in 1.0.2303.28002-0?
    I don't know which one I should do, or if I should have started with 1.0.2303.27001-0.

    • If your current version is "1.0.2303.28002-0", try running "Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe" in the older version "1.0.2303.27001-0".

      There is no problem if you run "Microsoft.SecHealthUI_8wekyb3d8bbwe" and it will overwrite the version of the Windows Security application. (Tested)

      This is not a problem as the new version will be restored after rebooting.

  • I don't know the reason, but I have a feeling that this is probably the cause, so I plan to talk to Microsoft about it if I can get through to them via chat.
    Unfortunately the above method didn't work this time, but thank you for your advice.
