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.

    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

    David

    Hi David.

    Welcome to join the club of users with this problem.

    I right now am looking at this site of MS, as it looks like they finally have a workaround.

    Hope you can find the solution here: 

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4054517/windows-10-update-kb4054517 

    Regards, John  (slagtand)

    My system: Win10x64 Version 1709 / build 16299.98

    UPDATE :  My system is up-and-running after following the instructions (above) ☺ ☺ Took just 10 minutes or so.

    I sent following reply to Microsoft:

    I managed to install the updates to my system (Win10 Home x64, version 1709; build 16299.98. @ i7 + 16GB ram) Have been struggling for 2 weeks now, resulting in a leak of storage area, drive C.   After going through the instructions, I gained  49 GB back! Laptop is not in an reboot-Installing loop ☺ !

    PLEASE DO update all other languages of support. I am form the Netherlands. THAT site does not point to this solution.

    Regards, John

    Have nice season days

    According to windows update, not only KB4054517 says "awaiting restart" and restarting wont install it. But another has come out, KB4058043. Same issue, awaiting restart and restart wont install it.

    On both my PCs I might add.........

    I was struggling the updates on my W10 v1607 (x64 Dutch) latop on my SSD 128Gb update since launching, for weeks now.

    System is not able to do it herself and I uninstalled last 2 weeks updates yesterday.

    Than I turned off McAfee AV and got the last updates manually from MS update site.

    Before that I had to -Windows suggested to do so- redo some other software installations to repair them. (I had to do a repair I installation. )

    I recognized that all MICROSOFT software was simply gone on the C-partition.

    FALL installation manually succeeded. Took me 26 Gb !! of hard disk space.Finally  I had to uninstall parts of Office 2013 to create space for the next, update fixes for the Fall Update. received by automatic update.

    I let it install automatically. Systems rebooted. Screen Warning not to interrupt! I waited for 3 hours.  Noting happened. Finally I forced lock down for the system.

    System does not recover to the login screen anymore. I have 14 passes of cold boot done. 

    System does not restart to login.

    THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY!!. I am online via my cell phone now. Indeed a fine running system now stopped.... and this is because of tremendous disk space consuming Fall update and its update, finally.

    Are these updates hussling in the registry and wrapping it, why so enormous disk space consumption?

    MICROSOFT: how to proceed now?? 

    I do NOT INTENT to create a clean installation.

    Two more hours gone. I get a login screen right now. Strangely enough I have to login TWICE to get access....

    Windows Update screen tells me KB406417 is pending on download at 99%..... So I am as far as 7 days ago....  I am really afraid to reboot, system might not boot agian. 

    THIS UPDATE FAILED 14 TIMES BEFORE.

    Since I use W10Home is cannot stop system looking door updates. Not blockable.

    YOU can IMPROVE your updates!!!  I have been trying for over a week now to install this update KB4054517 and it just sits there wanting to restart. I have used the so-called windows trouble shooter to no avail!  I have tried the stand alone update. I am NOT doing a clean install and doing a restore point does NOT work, there's nothing wrong with my PC. it's your updates!

     My PC is brand new, bought a few months ago and I hardly have anything installed on this PC. I had issues a short while back with one of your so-called "updates" and it did the same thing until people were complaining that it was NOT working! Then you threw out another fix and it worked. It is NOT my PC, it is you. Do something, this is not good!! FIX THIS, All the other updates get installed without any problems, it's THIS update that won't install!!

    FIX IT

    I can't agree more. I've already spent over 60 hours trying to sort this mess out.
