  1. Installing Windows on a new computer - error 0x80070003


    Hi!

    I've build my very first computer, and everything went smoothly until I tried to install Windows 10. I'm using my USB-drive as an installation media. I get to enter my product-key, choose which harddisk I want to use, and the installation seems to start. When it go to step 2 (Installing Windows), it sends out the following error message:


    "Windows cannot install required files. The file does not exist. Make sure that all files required for installation are availible and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070003"


    I've tried to Google the error code without finding a solution, formatting my USB-drive before making it an installation media anew and so on.

    What can I do at this point?



    Best regards, Helena

    :)

    Error 0x80070003 in Windows Store


    Hi everyone, hope this is an appropriate place to post this for help. So I have a Lenovo laptop. I get this error when Windows Store tries to update the Lenovo Settings app (and a few other apps, but not all my apps). This is really annoying as I set a battery charge threshold using the app and I can't change it without accessing the app, and when I click on it, it just flickers and doesn't open. I went through the steps in this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...-update-errors (which I found via this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...-or-0x80070003), but it didn't solve the problem (please note that I couldn't do step 2 as in the past I've rolled back to a previous version of Windows 10). The last step is to reinstall Windows. Obviously I'm very reluctant to do this as it means I have to copy all of my files and reinstall all my apps, so I was thinking that first, if possible, I should try installing the Anniversary Update. Since I've rolled back from it in the past, can I re-update to it without reinstalling the whole OS (which is what I'm told to do anyway)? If not, I've heard there's a new version of Windows 10 coming in April, so I might just wait for that and see if that fixes it.
