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

    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)

    Happy to report Microsoft's solution worked for me. Update was installed successfully and the problem with CBS.log was solved, too. Current compilation is 125. :)

    I also finally checked my Windows 10 laptop. It reports all updates being up to date. But, when I look under history - update KB4054517 is showing as failed. Yet, I haven't experienced any problems with the system itself and the current compilation is 125.

    Hallo John Longney

    Thanks for your input. My system is up and running smoothly again.

    I found 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 (MS-site, above) ☺ ☺ 

    It 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.
