如何修复 Windows 更新安装错误 0x8007012a^{(How to Fix Windows Update Install Error 0x8007012a)}

Windows 11 是Microsoft最先进的版本，包含许多有趣的新功能。具体来说，它看起来很漂亮，还有干净的搜索菜单^{(search menu)}选项以及在 Windows 11 PC 上下载和使用Android应用程序的功能。^(Android)然而，作为它的招标阶段^{(tender stage)}，它面临一些错误，其中最糟糕的部分是阻止您更新安装在 PC 上的组件。由于下面列出的一些原因，您可能会遇到此问题。 

• 系统错误
• 网络问题
• 外围故障
• 防病毒干扰
• 损坏的系统文件
• 不正确的注册表输入

在这里，我们展示了解决上述错误的故障排除方法。这些方法从简单到高级的有效步骤排列，以便您获得更快的结果。按照^(Follow)以下说明的相同顺序进行操作。

方法 1：连接到适当的网络^{(Method 1: Connect to a Proper Network)}

当您的互联网连接^{(internet connectivity)}不是最佳时，连接会更频繁地中断。这是安装错误 0x8007012a^{(install error 0x8007012a)}背后最明显的原因。首先，您应该运行速度测试^{(Speed test)}以了解您当前的网络速度^{(network speed)}。现在，按照下面给出的一些基本提示来改善您的互联网连接^{(internet connection)}。

• 更换故障电缆：^{(Replace Faulty Cables:)}如果您使用旧的、损坏的或不可靠的电缆^{(old, damaged, or unreliable cable)}，互联网连接^{(internet connection)}将不断与设备断开连接。即使您的网速^{(internet speed)}非常高，在断线时您也不会获得不间断的服务。有几根电缆负责互联网连接。一个将调制解调器与路由器连接，另一个将调制解调器与墙壁连接。如果电缆的任何部分有任何问题，您的连接将不会设置到该级别。确保电线没有损坏，如果它们不是处于最佳状态，则更换新的。

• 检查 Internet 调制解调器：^{(Check Internet Modem:)}如果您的调制解调器无法与Internet 服务提供商^{(Internet Service Provider)}( ISP ) 正确通信，则您遇到此问题的可能性更大。每当您购买调制解调器时，都必须得到您的Internet 服务提供商^{(Internet Service Provider)}( ISP ) 的批准。然而，即使它被批准，它的兼容性也出现了许多关键的冲突。因此，您必须需要帮助才能实现与ISP的正确连接。下次，如果您遇到此问题，请尝试检查调制解调器连接^{(modem connection)}，如果它被禁用，请重新连接。
• 切换到更快的互联网套餐：^{(Switch to Faster Internet Package:)}您还可以选择新的更快的互联网套餐^{(faster internet package)}并从您的网络提供商^{(network provider)}处购买。

方法2：重启电脑^{(Method 2: Reboot PC)}

在尝试其余方法之前，建议您重新启动 PC。在大多数情况下，简单的重新启动将解决问题，而无需任何具有挑战性的布局。因此，请尝试按照以下步骤重新启动您的 PC，并检查您是否再次遇到问题。或者，您可以使用电源选项^(Power)完全关闭^{(fully shut down)}系统，然后再次打开。

1. 导航到 开始菜单^{(Start menu)}。

2. 现在，选择 电源图标^{(power icon)}。

注意：^(Note:) 在Windows 10中，电源图标^{(Power icon)}位于底部。而^(Whereas)在Windows 8中，电源图标^{(Power icon)}位于顶部。

3. 会显示几个选项，如 睡眠^(Sleep)、 关机^{(Shut down)}和 重启^(Restart) 。在这里，单击 重新启动^(Restart)。
