Removing a USB driver
Solvedfabul Posted messages 42085 Registration date Status Modérateur Last intervention -
Hello,
I'm on Windows 11, and in Windows Update, I have an update for a USB port
that is consistently being rejected with the message:
Hewlett-Packard - USB - 2/10/2017 12:00:00 AM - 44.1.2402.1741
installation error 0x80070103.
I find at least 20 entries in Windows Update regarding this driver Hewlett-Packard - USB - 2/10/2017 12:00:00 AM - 44.1.2402.1741
Is there a way to remove this as I think it's an old driver for a printer (as I bought a new HP printer 4 years ago)
Thank you for your responses

Hello,
I'm a bit doubtful that the update is for the old printer, which has been uninstalled, since you mentioned that you replaced the old one with a HP, and the driver is for a HP.
By right-clicking on the Start button, use this command with Windows PowerShell (Admin).
CHKDSK /F C:
Answer Y for Yes to then restart Windows.
Then
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Then
sfc /scannow
Delete everything in the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
And restart Windows and updates to see.
You can also hide updates with this tool:
