Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4054517 fails to install error 0x80070643

We just got our "second Tuesday" updates (12/12/2017) on our W10 machine running V1709.

The cumulative update KB4054517 failed with an error code of 0x80070643.

The only thing we've discovered so far is that this machine will not display our other 3 PC's on the network when we select "Network" in File Explorer.  But all three other PC's can "see" and access this PC no problem.  And we ran a batch backup job on the affected PC and it was able to copy files from all three other PC's.  So it's just a display problem in File Explorer -> Network.  

We've run Windows Update Troubleshooter and told it to Apply Fixes whenever it prompted us, and it DID report that it found and fixed three issues:

Potential Windows Update Database Error - Fixed

Windows Update Component Must Be Repaired - Fixed

Check for pending updates - Fixed

After exiting the Troubleshooter, we clicked on "Check for Updates" again and it said "Your device is up to date". 

We noticed that the build number after the "failed" update had changed to 16299.125.  So the system thinks it DID install something newer than it had before, but Windows Update thinks the cumulative patch failed to install.

BTW, the other "Second Tuesday" patches (Adobe Flash KB4053577 and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool KB890830) both installed OK.

    I'm getting the exact same problem. 

    The install gets to 99% then it freezes and nothign happens after 20 or so minutes i get an error.

    Everytime I shut down the computer it says 'WIndows is getting ready, Please don't turn off the system.' But there is no update installing because when it finally shuts down or boots up the update is still installing? I've tried disabling all windows updates through the services and the problem is still continuing to occur. 

    (I've reset PC 3 times now before I founf this article) PLEASE FIX.

     recommendation to scan my drive for errors

    PS>net helpmsg (0x570)

    The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

    I can see how that would be a recommendation derived from that.  OTOH if you knew which "file or directory" was causing something a problem there might be another explanation (than some inferred physical corruption, which would affect any random file).

    I've checked for drive errors and there were a couple (insignificant files), but the update installation still fails with the 0x80070570 error. So I've turned off Windows updates for 27 days and will try again at the end of January.

    Thanks everyone for your replies.

    KB4054517 fails to install multiple times, with error 0x80070570 - now 12 times. I have tried downloading and using the standalone install packages but it still fails to update.

    I cannot have my computer rebooting itself every day!!!

    My Windows build is Windows 10 Pro; Version 1709; Build 16299.64.

    Thanks

    Pause Windows Update for up to 35 days. You can restart any time you want (eg after MS say they have fixed it) at any time before that.

    Start

    Settings Cog

    Update & Security

    Advanced options

    Pause Updates

    Hi swansojb 

    Thank you for this input. I assume, you use Windows Pro.  In the menus of my Home version I do not have the Advanced option to 'Pause Updates'. Somewhere I read this is not available in every version.

    Nevertheless, since we have a solution to all the troubles, I let automatic updates doing its job.

    (I deleted lots of office updates, from last two weeks -did not trust them, some were listed 5 times!- ) Updates were seamless installed however, occuring not one error message. My updates were listedd properly now, one per KB-version. So, if anyone intends to do the same.... At least it worked in my system and still no abnormal disk space consumption.

    Thank you and all other respondents!

    Happy Seaeson Greeting form The Netherlands,   

    & happy computing, John (slagtand)
