Couldn't MS do this to its users automatically without having to do it manually for non-technical users? :/

    Same problem here

    I'm glad it is not just me. Microsoft expects us all to be IT pros who can fix THEIR problems I guess.

    Same problem. I am a 73 year old dinosaur with impaired vision following five eye surgeries. How dare Microsoft expect me to fix this myself or pay a fortune to rent a geek! Doesn't the company make enough money to offer support for problems it creates?

    Hey Guys, I was able to fix the issue by running a Powershell script. You can check out how to do it on this post -- https://windowshelpline.com/fix-windows-10-installation-error-0x80070643/

    Didn't work for me I copy the text and run Command Prompt and it just closes down the Command Prompt and the update still fails while trying to install via Windows Updates.
