  3. Drivers won't update, errors 0x800703f1 and 0x80070002

    I have about 20 drivers that need updating. Windows version 18363. The updates download but fail to install. All report error 0x80070002 or 0x800703f1.

    I've tried:

    • Clearing the download files and restarting the update service.
    • Running the troubleshooter
    • sfc /scannow
    • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, which seemed to hang after the scan.
    • perfmon /report, which shows that one service is crashing
    • Using the Device Manager to install individual drivers
    • Various other remedies proposed; I googled the error codes and followed up...
    Suggestions?

    Can't Update Windows 10, No USB function, Errors 0x80070652 & 0x800703f1

    I also tried the windows update assistant. It recognized that I am running 10586 and the latest version is 14393. Per usual, the update fails at ~85% with error 0x800703f1. On the steps you listed before, the windows update troubleshooter recognized 2
    issues and stated that they had been fixed. I could be wrong, but I don't think they were fixable on previous attempts (before you started assisting).
