windows update error (0x80070643) for kb5001716

I've had this problem for a couple of months now on two of my systems and the trouble-shooter does not fix the issue.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer so I treat my systems appropriately.

The main thread on this has been locked by Microsoft for some reason.

This is a big issue for a lot of users.

Just the same here! The KB5001716 installed first time succesfully, but the next times, it returned and failed installing, and gave the wellknown error, 0x80070643.

it's a real microsoft tool to hide updates that you dont want or are broken or wont go away (like driver updates that show up under "optional" that NEVER go away)

This at least gets rid of the 10-2023 update so you can manually check stuff again

if it gets fixed you can unhide the update too.

It's a legitimate MS tool

Even on a brand new install - only windows updates have been being installed automatically - this error appears and is so far not fixable. I tried whats in this forum by EliseM_456 and other forums - and this is just another microsoft SNAFU,

i have also the same problem.....

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I have already tried all the methods that appear here and none of them work!!!!
