Windows 10: Windows 10 is refusing to update to the latest version (1903) (error code: 0x80070003)

What happens is I go to update and it says 1903 is available. It downloads and installs fine. I then get the prompt to restart so installation can finish. It goes to about 10% and then my PC restarts. My PC boots and I see the message "undoing changes made to your computer."

I check the update history and the update has failed to install. I've tried multiple times to install and it's the same result. I get the error code 0x80070003.


I have run the troubleshooter and it always fixes an issue involving "fixing windows update components" but always detects and doesn't fix an issue where " Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected". It detects it but does not fix it. I've tried updating after the troubleshooter but it still will not update.


How do I fix this error?

This applies to Windows 8/8.1 and probably applies to Win 10. Many of the suggested fixes for various issues have yet to be updated by MS to reflect whether they are applicable to the new OS.
