windows update error (0x80070643) for kb5001716

If it's any help, this article gives some background to the cause of this issue: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-10-kb5001716-update-fails-with-0x80070643-errors-how-to-fix/

(As discussed earlier in this thread, the issue appears to be that KB5001716 was released in fall 2023 and then somehow released "again" in 2024.)

The fix suggested in that article (ie. uninstalling KB5001716 via "Apps & Features", and then retrying the normal Windows Update process) worked for me -- I now see KB5001716 in my Apps & Features list (again), and Windows Update is no longer complaining / warning me about any pending or failed updates.

(For what it's worth, both before and after the process, Apps & Features showed me as having version 8.94.0.0 of that update, so there wasn't even a different version number between the two releases... 🤷)

Majid.G - what worked for you?

It does not work, it only hides the update.

The Windows 10 Sustained Engineering Team released a Quality Update KB: KB5001716 dated 2024-03 then they released (accidental?) an older, but same KB:  KB5001716 dated 2023-10 causing failure updates thereafter.

Details:

The standard troubleshooting and workaround techniques are not working on this problem. Maybe they worked on past similar problems (incorrect and out of sequence KB's), but they are not working for this current problem. I even saw a post instructing for users to "wait until the next update" because it "should be fixed" in the next update.

Win SE should just fix the accidental "old KB" causing this problem....... Today.

I still am able to receive the security virus definition updates from Windows update; but this new Windows 10 update just gives the error, over and over.
