Windows update Install error - 0x80070103

I have been getting this error since the last windows update. I have multiple drivers, all of which have been updated. Help!

 

  • Some third-party antivirus programs can interfere with Windows Update. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and try updating again.

    If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you might consider System Restore if you have any previous restore points saved.

    1. Corrupted System Files: System files can become corrupted during the update process, leading to this error.
    2. Missing or Corrupted Drivers: Although you've updated drivers, it's possible that some are still causing conflicts or are missing.
    3. Conflict with Another Application or Service: Sometimes, another application or service might be interfering with the update process.

    Go to the Device Manager (you can find it by right-clicking on the Start button).


    Look for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark. Right-click on that device and select Update driver.


    Choose Search automatically for updated driver software.
