Sometimes, attempting the installation or update again will work, so it&#39;s worth trying at least once more before proceeding with any further troubleshooting. Re-download the file. If you downloaded an update or an app and it displays the 0x80070643 error message, the file may have become corrupted during the download process.

Download it again to see if that fixes the problem. Delete the original files you downloaded first so that you don&#39;t accidentally install those files instead of the new download. Uninstall and reinstall the app.

If the 0x80070643 error occurs during an app update, the existing version of the app may be corrupted. Use the Windows uninstaller to remove the program, then reinstall it.

Close all open programs on your Windows PC, and quit any programs that might be running in the background (like Telegram or Skype). Pause current downloads and updates. Other downloads and updates could be interfering with the app you're trying to update.

The Windows Update Troubleshooter scans and corrects problems associated with the operating system and app updates. On Windows 10, go to Settings &gt; Update &amp; Security &gt; Troubleshoot &gt; Windows Update and select Run Troubleshooter. If you see the 0x80070643 error when running, installing, or updating a relatively old piece of software, run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter, which can be found on the same screen as the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

You can download and install the latest update from whoever manufactured your graphics card. For example, if you&#39;re using an Nvidia GPU, go to the company&#39;s official downloads page and select your model from the drop-down menus to find the right drivers. If you&#39;re using an AMD card, go to that company&#39;s Drivers and Support page to download the latest update.
