For deeper insight, you can analyze the Windows Update logs. Open PowerShell as an administrator and run `Get-WindowsUpdateLog`. This command will generate a readable log file (typically on your desktop as 'WindowsUpdate.log'). Open this file and search for the error code `0x800f081f` or related keywords like 'source not found' to identify specific processes or files that are causing the failure.
