Hello, I have a lot of updates of all kinds detected through a driverscloud analysis.

But every time I try to download them, it shows this error code 0x800703f1

If anyone has an idea to solve this problem, it would help me a lot, thank you in advance.

PC running Windows 10 64 bits.

Good luck because it has driven me crazy

Hi, I'm going to try it and I'll let you know if it works
but I have a question, do we need to specify a date for the installation?

You download the tool I mentioned and you start the repair; no date will be requested from you. Be careful, if your computer is a laptop, plug it into the power supply because this repair takes some time, and you wouldn't want the battery to die before the end of the repair.

Hi, so it's been doing this for about 10 minutes, is that normal?

So, big or small problem, after this window is finished, Windows restarted, and then it showed me a small window saying that the installation of Windows 10 failed.

Do you have another idea, because these updates are preventing me from doing a lot of things, thank you so much.

Good evening,

I will disable the hardware driver update that is causing issues:
https://lecrabeinfo.net/desactiver-installation-automatique-pilotes-drivers-composants-peripheriques-windows-update-windows-10.html

They are not necessarily essential anyway and can be installed via the manufacturer's website.

Then I will retry the 21H1 update via Windows Update.

If it fails, and if 21H1 is indeed the current version, we can go directly to 21H2 via the KB that activates it from 21H1 where it is already installed by default:

It's, like Port Salut, marked on it, see the second link I posted in paragraph 3.1:
it's the activation package from 21H1 to 21H2, just choose the appropriate version (generally 64-bit).

I tried the update 21h2 and, as usual, this message keeps coming back.

Hello,

You mean you want to update from 21H1 and not from 20H2 to 21H1?

It's probably your driver update issue that's causing the trouble; have you disabled their updates?

Also, you used the Windows Update assistant (3.2 in my link) and not the activation package (in 3.1), which does not eliminate the uncertainty of a bug in Windows Update that the activation package does not use.

For your information, first run the troubleshooter in Settings-Update-Troubleshoot.

Start with the Activation package option after restarting (assuming updates are in progress); if that doesn't work, it will be time to consider one of the multiple other causes of failure (Windows Update corruption, Drivers, File System).

Do the procedure from my first message again, you will go directly to 21h2.
If it still doesn't work, we will have to think about a Windows reinstallation since this kind of error can be caused by a driver or third-party software or antivirus, etc., etc... that's a lot of "or" for me, I don't have the time to search, especially since most of the time it ends with a reinstallation or a reset of Windows, check with the other participants, as for me, that's all.
Good luck.

Ok thank you, I'll keep you updated in a week.
Do you think my other problem with the steering wheel is related to this one?

Regarding the KB links, I downloaded and used them myself (at least the 64-bit one), so there's no reason not to.

With all this fuss, make sure to check which version you have (it should be 21H1).

You don't necessarily need to update 21H1 to migrate to 21H2 using the KB I mentioned.

However, if that's the case, and Windows Update has been properly fixed, try again via Windows Update AFTER disabling driver updates.

If it fails, we can reinstall 21H1 using one of the following methods and then update.
https://lecrabeinfo.net/telecharger-et-installer-windows-10-21h1.html

If none of that works, it's likely a driver issue or corrupted Windows files; we can try rolling back the drivers to their previous version, otherwise, you'll need to try repairing Windows, or even resetting it if it fails again.
