KB5005322 - Some devices cannot install new updates after installing KB5003690 (June 21, 2021)
Symptoms
After installing the June 21, 2021 ( KB5003690) update, some devices cannot install new updates, such as the July 6, 2021 ( KB5004945) or later updates. You will receive the error message, "PSFX_E_MATCHING_BINARY_MISSING".
Cause
This issue occurs on devices that have been scavenged automatically to remove outdated resource records. When a system is scavenged, the recently installed latest cumulative update (LCU) is marked as permanent and the older components are removed from the system. After scavenging is complete and a device is in this state, you cannot uninstall KB5003690 or install future LCUs .
Resolution/Workaround
We recommend an in-place upgrade. An in-place upgrade installs an operating system on your device without removing the older version first. Your files, apps, and settings will not be affected. There are a few ways to perform an in-place upgrade, but we will only focus on the following:
Wait for the Windows Update Medic Service (WaaSMedicSVC) to automatically perform an in-place upgrade. The Windows Update Medic Service runs in the background and diagnoses and repairs Windows updates based on the WaaS Assessment Impact Level. This in-place upgrade process will only run automatically on devices that are significantly out of date.
For a faster resolution, perform a manual in-place upgrade as described below. Doing this will install the most recent security quality update available. This is our preferred workaround.
