    Your "Reset Windows Update Components" link takes me to a Windows 11 procedure. My system CAN NOT upgrade to Windows 11. Nor do I want to.

    I do not have bitlocker on any of my machines and still getting the error. This is entirely an issue with the install package. QA failed in their job.

    I repaired the OS with sfc /scannow

    I resized the partition (500MB to 750MB)

    I reset the cache (Stopped windows update service and rd /S /Q C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution)

    Still get the: "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070643)"

    Guess I'll wait for the net update.
