Install error - 0x80070103

I found a really easy fix. This error is due to the updates already being installed.

Simply scroll down in the Windows Updates, and:

    1. click on pause updates for 1 week.

    2. resume updates again

Windows updates will recheck for new updates and it will be fixed.

This happens to me sometimes when updating a brand new computer. It looks like it happens when there are 2 update versions and the later one gets installed first. I have to clear the update cache to force it to rescan and realize that i've already got the latest version installed.

• Open your Services and stop the following two services:
  • CryptSvc (Cryptographic Services)
  • wuauserv (Windows Update)
• Delete or rename the following two folders
  • catroot2 (under your system32 folder)
  • SoftwareDistribution (in your Windows folder)
• Go back to your services and start the first two services again
• Check your windows update again
