    I attempted with new driver from HP site, same result.

    If your printer works fine, you may simply hide that update using the WuShowHide.diagcab tool from Microsoft.

    https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

    If Edge/Chrome blocks the download because of "insecure" link (HTTP vs HTTPS), go ahead and choose the Keep anyway option.

    Thanks.

    It corrected the error and allowed updates. I only see this one in event viewer:

    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: Hewlett-Packard - USB - 2/10/2017 12:00:00 AM - 44.1.2402.1741.

    I think it's the  HP ENVY 5000 series driver. Can you get it from HP's site?
