Hello,

My PC crashed frequently due to a faulty memory stick. When I used a new memory stick, the problem didn't occurred anymore. Unfortunately, the crash also occurred during the windows update after the in-place upgrade. Until now, I have been unable to download and install two important updates -- the latest cumulative update and the update from August. (Two error codes (0x80070643 and 0x800f0805) appeared alternately)

I just tried Windows update troubleshooter and get a diagnosis --

WaaSMedicService

    Have you tried the other things mentioned? If so, rerun the setup and share the fresh logs. Sometimes, diagnosis becomes easy after a BIOS update.

    Unfortunately, I'm unable to get the latest chipset drivers , device drivers and bios .etc, my PC is too old, the official Manufacturer site no longer provides them for downloading.

    Could you please tell me how to get the them? What should I do if I'm unable to get them?

    It can be challenging to install 22H2 on legacy systems with older BIOS.

    Please use Driver Store Explorer to uninstall unused and obsolete driver packages. Before deleting the drive packages, export them using these commands from an admin Command Prompt.

    md c:\drivers

    dism /online /export-driver /destination:c:\drivers

    Re-run the setup and share fresh logs.

    How do I know which driver packages are unused and obsolete?

    Can Driver Store Explorer automatically discover them and uninstall them?

    It can't discover unused driver packages automatically. But, if you've backed up the drivers, go ahead and uninstall old (look at driver date) drivers. Don't uninstall "System devices", "Firmware", and "Storage Controllers" drivers.

    (By the way, the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit's Driver Verification tool has an option to determine unused driver packages.)
