windows update error (0x80070643) for kb5001716

I FIXED THE PROBLEM - I DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS UNIVERSALLY.

Fair Warning - You have to wipe ur main drive, the one that has Windows currently installed.

1. Restart the computer and enter into ur BIOS settings before Windows starts, find your BIOS option to wipe / Clean a drive from scratch. Like a factory reset. If you can move the important stuff to an external or alternate drive.
2. Once you've wiped the drive, make sure beforehand you have a flash drive or an activation disc for Windows 10, that you can install it on the freshly wiped drive.
3. In the BIOS set it so that the flash drive or disk will boot on startup, save BIOS settings, and exit. Windows will reinstall, use the key. If you don't have the key do a custom install and fill in the appropriate options.

Thats it, thats what worked for me. It's a sacrifice to wipe everything but I can download updates, my drivers actually work etc etc.

GOOD LUCK!

It hasn't worked.

Fix this, Microsoft. Do you have too many users? If I have to get a GD admin certification to make your operating system work I might as well use an operating system that doesn't think I'm its GD hostage. The arrogance is absolutely stunning. Remember when people could steal all of your software? At least when I wasn't paying for it and it didn't work, my anger at you couldn't exceed 5/10.

error code x80070643 can't update

"error code x80070643 can't update"

Why didn't MS fix the problem it caused itself programmatically for consumer users, but instead arrogantly urges re-installations or device updates
