Error 80070103 trying to install 5/14 firmware updaate

[dleuen]

I'm getting Error code 80070103 when trying to install the 5/14 Firmware update I've rebooted, run the troubleshooter removed and re-downloaded the update file and retried about 10000 times. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this error and allow the firmware to update? Also, how do you check the current version of the firmware? What version does this update bring the update up to? One of the possible causes it lists is that I already have a newer version of a driver. I've not installed anything but stock Microsoft updates. The reason I ask is that I thought I installed this update earlier in the week but I noticed it is in the list still and said that it failed. Maybe it did install???

Did you read the resolution they suggest in the above links?

Resolution

For the most recent available driver, contact the device manufacturer. This issue can be safely ignored if this applies to a driver. However, the driver may be offered again by Windows Update in the future. To hide the update so that it is not offered again, follow these steps, depending on your operating system:

Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003

3. In the navigation pane, click Hardware, Optional. Then, the Update client displays the available updates on the Select Optional Hardware Updates page.
4. Expand the second update for the graphics card, and then click to select the Don't show this update again check box.
5. Click Review and install updates.
6. Verify that the second update for the graphics card is not present, and then click Install Updates.

Exactly this. The solution is a joke. Can someone list what the versions of the firmware components in device manager are after the 5/14 update so I can at least look at the versions should be after the update? I'm wondering if maybe one component got updated but not the others.

I contacted MS about another Firmware update issue yesterday and the response I got was FULL RESET. Awesome.

Are you getting this error from the Update Console in Control Panel via the desktop? If so run the repair from within that screen and then do advanced repair. Once that is done use Check online for updates from Microsoft. Sounds like you are using a PC that is a member of a Domain but you're not connected to the Domain or your admins are not providing Win8 updates. There is also a Reg value for this issue which will point point your PC to default to Microsoft's online site rather than your domains WSUS server.

Thanks, I have been running the update from control panel on the desktop. I've also tried the Modern UI app. I have not joined a domain with my SP. It is for home use only.

I agree if I contact MS support I'm 99.9998% sure they will tell me do do a full reset and reinstall.

Still searching for what the firmware versions are supposed to be.

Sorry mine is in a box waiting to go back due to the same kind of issue. I can only reset the device so many times before I cant accept this as a solution any further.

Is your update database corrupted? Can you post a picture of Device Manager?

Running the troubleshooter fixed two issues in the database but the error persists even after that. My device manager is clean. No warnings, yellow triagles nor any indication of issues.
