April 19 Surface Book Update failure - Error 0x800f0203

While applying today's updates, I received a Blue screen. After it restarted, it applied updates before continuing into Windows startup.

Went into Windows Update and clicked on Install for the remaining ones that were yet to be applied. Then I get this error:

* Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Control Logic - Error - 0x800f0203

I clicked Retry, it says no updates available.

Click check for updates and again:

* Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Control Logic - Error - 0x800f0203

Rebooted, still offering this driver and failing with same error.

this workaround was posted on reddit (and fixed the issue for me!):

  • Open the setupapi.dev.log log file from c:\windows\inf.
  • Find the error "Failed to install device instance".
  • Above this error it will say which inf file caused the issue. In my case oem90.inf
  • Run "pnputil -d oem90.inf" from an elevated command prompt
  • Re-run windows update and install

    I had the exact same problem.  Went to windows update, chose to install all updates from today 04/19/2016.  During the install it blue screened.  After displaying the wait while we gather info percentage, it rebooted.  After reboot it installed firmware.  It rebooted again after installing the firmware and before going into windows.  After that reboot it booted up fine.  I went back to windows update and it continued to install all the other updates.  I get the failed update on "intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Control Logic - Error 0x800f0203".  I have rebooted multiple times and tried it numerous times.  I have the i7 with 1T of storage.
