windows update error (0x80070643) for kb5001716

It worked for me

Thanks for your guidance

I am having the issue; Windows Update successfully installed KB5001716 on March, 6, 2024 and then made multiple more attempts to install this update, for reason(s) I do not understand. I uninstalled the updates that were installed on the above mentioned day, rebooted, reinstalled, and the issue was not resolved. I have tried SFC /Scannow in a Command Prompt which found nothing. I sincerely hope this will not prevent me from receiving future Windows Updates. The image in the original post mirrors my own Windows Update history.

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.

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.

It does not work, it only hides the update.
