Failed to Install KB5001716 Error 0x80070643

Hello SaythRenshaw.



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Regarding to your information I assume that you can't install the upgrade KB5001716.

In general, this error code you encountered is likely due to an error during the download and installation process, permission issues, or

problems with certain components. It is challenging to update the error code to resolve.

It seems that you have already tried clearing the update cache and restarting the update service, but it didn't have any effect.

In such cases, if clearing the cache doesn't work, I recommend upgrading your system directly using the "In-place upgrade " method.

In-place upgrade which will refresh your Windows files and operating system without removing files or applications.

That being said, we always recommend that if you have important data, you should back it up before making large system changes. .

If you want to back up your data first, please do so. Once you are done backing up, you can follow the steps in the following guides:

If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
