  1. Updates not installing


    Hello, I hope I can get some help with my computer problems. I have an HP laptop running windows 10. I don't use it but a couple times a month. I started noticing problems about a month ago when I tried running a program that transfers VHS to DVD. I have not used that program in about a year and chalked it up to maybe a problem on the other end. Then I noticed my wireless printer would not work from my computer. Then I checked for updates and saw 24 updates that failed to install. Error code: 0x800703f1.

    I somehow managed to get the printer working but under Devises it says my printer driver is unavailable. Same for my iphone when I connect it to transfer pictures to my computer from my iphone.

    I have Norton Antivirus and according to that there is no virus. I turned off the antivirus then tried to install the downloads but it did not work.

    I have Windows 10 Home Version 1903 64 bit.

    Here are a couple of downloads that didn't install:

    2020-05 Microsoft Edge Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems KB4559309 - Error 0x800703f1

    2020-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems KB4560960 - Error 0x800703f1

    2020-06 Security Update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems KB4561600 - Error 0x800703f1.

    I am not very knowledgeable concerning computers and really don't understand the technical side but I don't mind trying a few things.

    I have ran Windows Troubleshooter- no help.

    Tried a few other things no help. I know this is lengthy but I tried to be as accurate as possible.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Updates not installing :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
