Microsoft is working to make the new update KB5001716 available to Windows 10 users, which brings some improvements to the update system. However, the update seems to be causing some issues on some systems.
Update KB5001716 focuses on improving Windows Update components, which should bring improvements to the Windows 10 update system. However, it seems to be causing problems.
Many users a report The update fails when trying to update the system. Among the most common failures is the appearance of the error code “0x80070643”.
However, in the system's Event Viewer, the error code is different, indicating 0x8024200B. The update is also claimed to date back to October 2023, although it is now only introduced in March 2024, leading to further confusion for users.
However, the issue appears to be due to an old update with the same code, which some systems may have installed in the past. In October 2023, Microsoft actually introduced update KB5001716, but quickly removed it from the update process, although some systems installed it.
The failures appear to occur on systems that have the update installed at that time. To make sure that the update installs correctly now, it is recommended to remove the old update KB5001716, which should be available in Windows Settings, in the Installed applications section.
Once this update is uninstalled, users can go back to checking for new updates via Windows Update, which should now indicate the presence of KB5001716, but this time it will install correctly.
