Windows 10: Windows update 1803 is failing with error (0x80070003)

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am trying to avoid doing a clean install as I have a fair few open source type programs that have taken substantial effort to set up and I don't if I will be able to get them working again if I need to reinstall.


Windows update 1803 is failing with error (0x80070003)


I've tried the following:

- updating with avast uninstalled - same error


- running update troubleshooter

- tells me there are updates pending (well yes, update 1803 wont install so of course it is pending)


running sfc /scannow - 100% complete - did not find any integrity violations

running DISM.exe /online/cleanupimage/restore health - no problems found


downloaded and applied SSU 4485448 for windows 10 1709


stopping and restarting wuauserv, cryptsvc, bits, msiserver

renaming c:window\softwaredistribution and \system32\catroot2



tried updating for both 1803 and 1809, but fails during setup with message "Sorry, We're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows 10. Please close setup and try again" (with avast disabled)


tried using the media creation tool to update in place. same message during windows 10 setup:

"Sorry, We're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows 10. Please close setup and try again"


tried using media creation tool to create an ISO file, applying both connected and disconnected from the internet, with avast disabled, same error message both times:

"Sorry, We're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows 10. Please close setup and try again"

Windows Store keep on failing to update with 0x80070003

Many thanks for your response. I tried doing the steps you have suggested but still I cannot update my apps in Windows Store. Like now currently I have 4 apps which keep on failing to update with the error code 0x80070003.
Then when I try clicking check for updates it will add 3 more apps. Then I will try to update the 7 apps, the 3 newly added apps say completed but the 4 apps still have the Error Try that again, with the error code above. I will try to update again, and the
same thing happens even after trying all the steps you have suggested.
