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.

    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.

    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

    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:

    Hi - thanks for the quick response. I did see that post, but everyone seems to be getting a different error to me. I'm getting 0x80070570, whereas most are getting 0x80070643???

    However I've just checked for that error code and there's a recommendation to scan my drive for errors so I'll do that and report back.

    :)

    Hi Dave

    Since I am struggling for 2 weeks now, I do not care about the different announcements  and failure codes.

    Surching thw blogs I am very sure it depend on the failing update and version number.

    Once solving the update -having it smoothly working- you might see no errors of this kind.

    Following the steps of MS for the workaround, I found lots of data, being the log file.

    Important to reduce/remove that.  I stumpled over 24GB of useless data due to the over and over failing updates, my hard drive (SSD) had a leak of space. 

    Lots of success.

    John

    UPDATE:  IT WORKS FINE NOW!!
