Windows Update Error Message 0x80070543


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:

• Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 (KB3173428) - Error 0x80070543
• Security Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 (KB3172729) - Error 0x80070543
• Security Update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1511 (KB3174060) - 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)
2. Uninstalled anti-virus (Avast)
3. Reset the windows update catalog on local machine.

So the above errors are with the above done.

What other steps should I be taking to resolve the issue?

Below is notations for when I actually add to this thread.

Hi Nix,

A lot of users use PIN code to protect their devices from unauthorized access. However, users reported 0x8009002d error while trying to sign in to Windows 10 using a PIN code. Restarting your PC is a working workaround in correcting this issue.

If restarting your PC doesn't work, the next step to do is turning off Sleep mode and reset your PIN. There are reports that Sleep mode might be responsible for 0x8009002d error on Windows 10. To turn off Sleep mode, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows Key + S and enter "Power Options".
  
• Select Power Options from the results list.
• On your current plan, click the Change plan settings.
• Set Put the computer to sleep to Never and click
  Save changes.

Now, we need to reset your PIN by following these steps:

• Open the Settings app and go to Accounts >
  Sign-in options.
• Look for the PIN section and click the Remove button.
• The PIN section will ask you if you’re sure to remove your
  PIN. Click the Remove button to confirm.
• Enter your account password to verify your account and click OK,
  PIN should be removed.
• Click Add button in the PIN section to add a new
  PIN.
• Enter your new PIN twice and click the OK button to confirm.
• Restart your PC and sign in with your new PIN.
