Windows 10: Unable to reinstall an HP printer driver on Windows 10, versions 1709 and 1803

If I uninstall my old HP printer driver and then try to reinstall it, the printer driver fails to install. Similarly, when Windows Update tries to install a new driver for my HP printer, the printer driver fails to install.

Unable to update Windows 10 Pro version 1709 to 1803

Have made several attempts to update Windows 10 version 1709 to the latest version 1803 and have not been successful.

I've done the following per some suggestions found online:

• Updated drivers
• Ran the Trouble Shooter for Windows 10 (Errors found were shown to be "Fixed" per the tool)
• Unplugged the printer

Although not at every attempt, I have received the following errors:

• 0xc1900101
• 0x80070643

Can someone please advise me as to what the errors are and provide me with the steps to update Windows.

Thank you.

 

Lost all printers after automatic update to Windows 10 version 1803 on HP Pavilion DV7-6187CL

I have had a Dell laptop, Alienware laptop, Dell, desktop, and HP Pavilion laptop automatically upgraded to Windows 10 version 1803 from version 1709 recently. All worked fine other than the HP Pavilion DV7-6187CL laptop running Windows 10 Home, while all
of the others are running Windows 10 Pro. The actual Windows 10 version 1803 upgrade installed correctly on the HP Pavilion laptop, however after the install, literally all previously listed printers disappeared from the available installed list. I have
used Norton Ghost to roll back to the Windows 10 version 1709 several times where all of the printers are listed and working, ran the upgrade to version 1803 again, and all printers disappear after the upgrade only on this laptop. Some of the printers are
built-in printer drivers like Microsoft XPS Document Writer, Microsoft Print to PDF, Send to OneNote 2010, etc., while the others are various different Hewlett Packard networked printers on three different networks while the laptop travels around from place
to place. There are no printers that are physically plugged in to this laptop via USB or any other manner nor have any ever been physically plugged in directly. After upgrading to Windows 10 version 1803 on this laptop, and all printers disappeared, I tried
to use the Add Printer button to add a networked printer again, to only get a Copy 1 version created, because somehow the systems seems to know that it is there even though it cannot be seen or printed to. I was able to create a Copy 1 of two of the HP network
printers, but I was unable to successfully send print test pages to either one so I deleted the Copy 1 of each of them, which again left me with no printers listed at all again and no way to physically print anything from this laptop.

I tried to run the Windows Printers Troubleshooter, and it correctly lists all missing printers to choose from to try to troubleshoot so I selected one of the HP networked printers, and the troubleshooter said that everything was working fine. I did the
same thing for two more printers with the same result from the troubleshooter. I have checked on the HP site for updated drivers for all of these various HP printers, and each one of them say that Windows 10 has the correct built-in printer drivers so there
is nothing available to download and install, since Windows 10 is supposed to have the correct drivers for all of these printers.

Again, all of these printers worked just fine before the upgrade from version 1709 to 1803 when they then simply disappeared from being listed as available to print to. Any assistance in resolving this issue would be appreciated, because I cannot seem to
stop the upgrade to version 1803 and having all of the printers disappear. I hope that I was able to describe in detail what happened, what steps that I took to resolve it, and what issues still persist. Maybe somebody else has run into this same issue and
was able to determine a resolution to this issue.

Here is a screen shot of all of the printers listed on this laptop in version 1709 before the automatic upgrade to version 1803, when they all disappear.
