Windows 10: This just started today. I get the above error message when I try to open Notpad.

I've uninstalled it, and reinstalled it. then did the upgrade to the "newer" version of Notepad and get the same error. I can open the version of notepad that sits in C:/Windows but not the version that sits in C:/Program Files/WindowsApps.Should I just uninstall the notepad again, reinstall it but not use the "Newer version"? Its kind of annoying that when I opened the version in C:/Windows that it tells me there is a newer version.

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.

1. Attempted to use the troubleshooter, no dice.

Just to clarify, Are you able to open the CS5 and Lightroom application?

Also I suggest you to provide the complete error message/code.
