windows update error (0x80070643) for kb5001716

Thanks for the confirmation I am always worried about clicking links that that.

I have the same issue and did all three. Nothing worked. Please remove the 2024-03 Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64 Based Systems KB5001716. I did all three recommended actions and I still got the same issue. I'm going to use my last restore point and turn off updates until this is resolved.

I did just that. They need either fix the new update, remove the old update, or scrap the update all together. By the time I get a new laptop with Windows 11 on it, Windows 12 will be out. If they don't be careful, Microsoft users will become Apple users.

Exactly the same issue started to happen several hours ago. I did first two options you've recommended but that didn't help. Don't want to perform a repair-upgrade though. There is definitely something wrong with this KB5001716.

P.S.

* First, there was an update which installed correctly, it's listed in Windows Update Log as "KB5001716, 2024-03"

* Immediately after that, when I checked for updates again, there is another KB5001716 which fails to install.

* Now, my Windows Update Log contains another failed entry for the same KB - "KB5001716, 2023-10" at the top (note that it has older date), with error code 0x80070643

You are so right. I directly saw the same problem in the Netherlands. The first update 2024-03 goes well, the second directly after with 2023-10 fails. This is an error at Microsoft. So let Microsoft fix the problem, and don't let people struggling with downloading tools etc.

I have the same problem. First time I have received th!

is type of error. ****?

What kind of solution is there? This is really ***ed up

First time in that I have run into this. Are they trying to get us to move to 11? Fix 10 before I would consider it.

Wait and see if they fix this? How soon?

The reliability that I expect from Microsoft is pushed to near 0 in one really bad release!
