Microsoft is pushing out a Windows 10 KB5001716 update used to improve Windows Update that is ironically failing to install, showing 0x80070643 errors.
Titled 'KB5001716: Update for Windows Update Service components,' this update has been pushed out by Microsoft over the years when new functionality needs to be added to Windows Update.
Instead of improving Windows Update, the KB5001716 update is not installing and causing 0x80070643 errors to be displayed in Windows Update without any details as to what is causing it.
"Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200B: 2023-10 Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems," reads the Windows event logs.
BleepingComputer has confirmed that once the October version of the update is uninstalled, you can then Check for Updates again, and the KB5001716 update will install successfully in Windows Update.
