    Windows Update Error 0x80070003 on KB4022715 and KB3186568.

    Hi, I'm getting error 0x80070003 on the cumulative and .NET updates for this month (KB4022715 and KB3186568). I'm using Windows 1607 (14393.1198). My system is not compatible with the Creators update.

    I've tried many different things, all have failed. Things I've tried:

    I have a copy of my system in a VirtualBox VM. I'm willing to try about anything on that. Keep in mind that it takes me about 2 hours to try a single method out in the VM. I will try any fixes in the VM before trying them on my real system anyway. I know the VM uses different drivers.

    Here is my posting on another forum about this problem:
    Windows Update Failed, Error 0x80070003 - Windows 10

    I'm really not looking to re-install or repair Windows. I understand that may be my only option later on.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Reboot Windows.

    Re-run Windows 11 setup. Post fresh setupact.log if the setup doesn't succeed.

    (If that doesn't help, we may need to rebuild the EFI partition via WinRE.)
