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.

    Even after making that adjustment I would still not trust Windows Update to not present and offer hardware driver updates so the permanent fix for the issue is to take charge of your Windows Update and check for updates yourself so you can see and decide which updates are going to be installed on your system.

    Glad to help.

    I hope nobody follows the advice from the Microsoft engaged alleged "expert" (Device Manager, update, Device Manager, uninstall the driver, restart, etc.) as those are terrible ideas.

    Sure! Go to "All Programs," select "Windows Update," which opens Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Windows Update (or you can just go straight to Control Panel and find Windows Update, which will probably be the last item) . In the middle of the pane, you'll see Important and Optional updates available. Click any of them. A new window will open (Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Windows Update>Select updates to install). Right click any of what's displayed and then you should see the popup that says Copy Details or Hide Update. Select Hide and it should go "poof!"
