The error code “0x80070103” on Windows 11 Pro usually indicates that there is a problem with a driver update. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:
- Check for available updates: Go to “Settings” > “Windows Update” > “Check for Updates” to see if any updates are available. If there are any, install them and then try to install the problematic update again.
- Hide the problematic update: If the update causing the issue is not crucial for your system, you can hide it so that Windows doesn’t try to install it again. To do this, go to “Settings” > “Windows Update” > “Advanced options” > “View your update history” > “Uninstall updates” > Right-click on the update > “Hide update”.
- Download and install the driver manually: If the driver update is causing the issue, try downloading and installing the latest version of the driver from the manufacturer’s website manually. To do this, you need to find out which hardware component is causing the problem by looking at the error message. Then, go to the manufacturer’s website and download the latest driver for that component. Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the prompts to install the driver.
- Use the Device Manager: You can also use the Device Manager to update the driver for the problematic hardware component. To do this, right-click on the Start button > “Device Manager” > Find the hardware component that is causing the problem > Right-click on it > “Update driver” > “Search automatically for updated driver software”. Windows will then search for the latest driver and install it automatically.
- Disable any security software: Sometimes, security software can interfere with the installation of updates. Try disabling any security software temporarily and then try installing the update again.
Hopefully, one of these steps will help you resolve the “0x80070103” error and successfully install the update.
