[SOLVED] Windows 10 Home 22H2 64bit Error 0x80070003

[JimmityJones]

Hello,


In the past few months whenever I've tried to update Windows 10 when shutting down/restarting, it would start an update and get up to 7%, before it reboots and tells me the system can't update and undoes any changes it has made. In the Windows Update screen, it gives me the error code "0x80070003". On the side, I've been unable to update any other drivers, as well as install new ones. SFC /scannow tells me there are no integrity violations and I've tried to troubleshoot it through the built in Windows Troubleshooter, but that didn't help either.

I've attached the log files below but let me know if anything else is necessary.

Thank you for your help.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Upload the setupapi.dev.log file

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\INF folder.
• Right-click on the file setupapi.dev.log and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file setupapi.dev.zip in your next reply.

Hi,

Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Afterwards attempt to update. if it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs and the Setupaapi.dev.log.
