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 saw on Reddit that MS finally released the manual driver/firmware package containing the April updates.  Maybe if you manually apply them it will sort out?

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49498

    Is this recommended? My concern is I already have about half of these installed through Windows Update. Here is what I have:

    April 2016 updates

    The following updates will be listed when you check for updates in Windows or view your Windows update history after installing the updates:

    BELOW IS WHAT IS SHOWING IN WU UPDATE HISTORY

    • Microsoft driver update for Surface Embedded Controller FirmwareYES
    • Microsoft driver update for Surface System Aggregator FirmwareYES
    • Microsoft driver update for Surface UEFIYES
    • Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) HD Graphics 520YES

    Note

    When Surface updates are provided via the Windows Update service, they are delivered in stages to Surface customers. As a result, not every Surface will receive the update at the same time, but the update will be delivered to all devices. If you have not received the update then please manually check Windows Update later.
