Hi David,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL:

Ya Ya Ya, there's over a hundred threads like this, ...

Anyway, started getting this error message a few days ago, and done a lot of searching on this error message, apparently it's not, uncommon.

In particular, the (currently) 4 updates that are being affected are:

• Security Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 (KB3172729) - Error 0x80070543

• Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 (KB3176493) - Error 0x80070543

The actions I've taken to date are:

1. Uninstalled firewall program (comodo)

3. Reset the windows update catalog on local machine.

So the above errors are with the above done.
