Windows 10: KB4507453 Update failed with error 0x80073701

I have been trying to install the above update for several days now but I still get this error message which doesn't seem to come up in google search except for deleting the files in "Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" which I've done but the update still fails and I've also tried standalone msu.

All it says is there were problems installing some updates and will try again later!

I had no problem with the update to version 1903 build 18362.207 though.

I'm not very techie so any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

:)

 

Windows update KB4507453

Once again there are problems with Windows 10 1903 updates.

Two or so weeks ago KB4501375 failed to install, and this still shows in the Update listing as failed. error code 0x800f0904.

Yesterday and today KB4507453 failed to install after several retries. error code 0x800f0904.

At least the error codes are common, although the fix may be more difficult.

Is the latest update failure related to the KB4501375 install failure? i.e. is the first update required before the second?

during the update, the antivirus product is disabled completely, but not uninstalled. This seems to be a new requirement with Windows 10, 1903. In the past all that was required was to run antivirus in "silent mode" and disable "tamper protect".

Windows update KB4507453

Hello,

Please run Windows Update troubleshooter from Settings app > Update & security > Troubleshoot. See if it works.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Open administrative Command Prompt and type following commands one-by-one followed by Enter key.

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

Close Command Prompt and see if Windows Updates works then.

Let us know if this helps!

It looked promising at first, having cun command prompt as administrator.

However, the update KB4507453 failed to install.

There's no reference to the previously failed KB4501375 being available as an update.

May need more help.
