    Windows 10 feature update repeatedly fails


    Sony Vaio 64 bit laptop running Windows 10. Windows feature update repeatedly failing and retrying so laptop virtually unusable. Update files seem to be downloaded OK, Install seems to complete however when restarted the process fails and undoes updates. Error code 0x800703f1. Any advice gratefully received.

    :)

    1709 Feature Update repeatedly fails

    I have been having a persistent problem installing the Feature Update to Windows 10 version 1709 on Windows 10 Pro. I have updated drivers and tried several approaches but nothing seems to change the basic behavior, which is a “Reference_by_pointer” blue
    screen following the “Working on updates” portion of the update procedure. My Update history currently features 9 failed attempts at this update, with four listed as “requires a restart to finish installing” and the other five listed as failed. The about screen
    lists Version 1703 OS Build 15063.966.

    Thank you for your help!

    Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
