Hi OneToo

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum!

We receive this error message when you are trying to update driver from Windows update and installing a driver that is already installed on your computer or a driver that has a lower compatibility rating than one you already have installed.

Here are the below links  for reference: Windows Update error 80070103

I would recommend you to update the driver manually. Steps to update the driver manually

i.                     Click Start, type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.

ii.                    On the “Device Manager” window, expand the item, right click on the sub item and then click “Update Driver”.

iii.                  Restart the computer once the driver is updated.

If this fails then try to reinstall the driver

i.               Click Start, type devmgmt.msc and press enter.

ii.                     Expand the driver and right click on the sub item and click uninstall.

iii.                   Restart the computer.

iv.                   Visit the manufacturer website to download the latest driver.

v.                     Install the driver and restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

    Thanks. I agree. It didn't work and made more problems than I had before.

    The "solution" (the best solution) is to disregard the advice from the Microsoft engaged alleged "expert" and do what ElderN says in the previous reply.

    I have exactly the same problem and none of the solutions suggested have worked - because right clicking does not open "Update."

    I'm not receiving the option to update (or even uninstall) the NVIDA Display when I right click. (That is definitely the driver that needs the update, but is giving me the error message when I try to update.)
