Windows 10: Upgrading failing: Some updates files are missing or have problems... Error code: 0x80070003

I've been having this problem since I noticed the message saying that the windows version I am running is nearing the end of service I am running 1809 which is weird since I always run windows update.


What I have tried which runs without errors:

1. Windows Update Troubleshooter.
2. Ran `chkdsk /f`
3. Ran `DISM /Online /RestoreHealth /Cleanup-Image /LimitAccess`
4. Reset the Windows Update Components.
5. Ran `ICACLS C:\Windows\winsxs`

What hasn't work:

1. `sfc /scannow` always fails at 75% with a message saying that the "request operation could not be run."
2. Trying an upgrade with the Media Creation Tool always fails with: "Sorry, we're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows 10. Please close Setup and try again."

I sadly never made an image of windows when it worked, so I cannot use `/Source` option of `DISM`.


`Get-WindowsUpdateLog` from PowerShell also shows the following failures:

At this moment I am totally out of ideas.

Error code: (0x80070003): Some update files are missing or have problems.

This is the error I now get.

"Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80070003)"

 

Problems while trying to upgrade to 1809, error code 0x80070003

I've tried many times over the course of two weeks and I keep getting the same errors. From the research that I have done, it seems that it may be video driver related. I updated to the latest Nvidia drivers and it didn't work.

 

Can't update Windows 10....Error Code 0x80070003

Microsoft Community Brain Trust-

I haven't been able to update Windows 10 for several months now. I searched on this forum and followed some of the troubleshooting steps as follows below. I think I am going to need a little more personalized help

I ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter

I ran the DISM command-line tool and the System File Checker (SFC) tool to check the integrity of the Windows system files

After each step, I tried to update and got the same error message:

Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later.

Error code: (0x80070003)

Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated. If you could stay with me on this thread as I accomplish your suggested steps, that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks for your time.
