I keep trying install this update yet it keeps failing. I already ran troubleshooter said it resolved the issue but the error persists. I also disabled my antivirus and tried again still did not work And I keep getting error (0x80070643) Is this a known issue? All the other updates installed fine without issue.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
My workaround was to reinstall windows, keeping my documents and settings. This procedure is simple to undertake, as it realigns the hard drive recovery partition in which the update fault lies.
It is not worth all that headache for a Security Update that should not have failed to begin with. I have done reinstalls several times and it is not fun. It can sit in my update queue until MS
fixes "their " problem and grow digital cobwebs on it.
I think it is easier to just skip the update for now. Is that not doable?
i just updated my pc and welp i got it too, i guess we'll just have to wait until microsoft can fix the problem soon
For sure bob no problem
Not really, not unless you go into some part of Window's programming to turn off update checks. I know there has to be a way for it; But I'm not totally sure I'd look online for some work a rounds or turning off windows defender and just getting a trust worthy third party defender installed.
That is what, I'm thinking of doing for my laptop it would be easier and less of a hassle worrying about updates wise. Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely would keep windows defender running for stuff for your computer. Like stuff that your computer needs to work windows.
But when you get stuff like this; That are clearly mistakes on Windows end. Just looks bad, I hope they can fix it soon. I shouldn't have to reinstall windows just to get one update to work.
If anyone hears anything or finds out they fixed it let me know.
