2] Repair Corrupt System Files using SFC

The presence of corrupt or missing system files may also cause the 0x80070003 error. To get rid of this error, you must use the System File Checker Utility program and repair damaged files and folders. Here are the essential steps to work upon –

  • First of all, launch Command Prompt as an Admin.
  • On the elevated console, type “sfc/ scannow” and press the Enter Key.

5] Manually Install Windows 10 Updates

Способ 1: Встроенное средство устранения неполадок

Рассматриваемая ошибка с кодом 0x80070003 связана с «Центром обновления Windows», поэтому первым делом следует проверить его на наличие программных неисправностей:

  1. Нажмите на кнопку «Пуск» и перейдите в системные «Параметры».
  2. В открывшемся окне выберите раздел «Обновление и безопасность».
  3. ошибка обновления 0x80070003 в windows 10-02

  7. ошибка обновления 0x80070003 в windows 10-04

Средство проверит «Центр обновления» на наличие различных сбоев, и, если они будут выявлены, предложит варианты действий, которые могут помочь решить проблему.

Способ 2: Отключение брандмауэра / антивирусной программы

Нередко процесс обновления блокируется антивирусной программой или брандмауэром от сторонних разработчиков. Этот метод не касается встроенной защиты Windows 10. В другом случае можно попробовать приостановить работу антивируса, и тогда он перестанет ограничивать попытки установки апдейтов.

Если после деактивации антивируса удалось установить обновления, но в дальнейшем такая проблема начнет появляться вновь, лучше поменяйте программу на другую.

Способ 3: Очистка папки с кешем обновлений

Бывает и так, что ошибка обновления 0x800700003 в Windows 10 появляется из-за кеша «Центра обновлений», который хранится в специальной папке на системном локальном диске. Прежде чем стирать данные, нужно приостановить работу службы, отвечающей за апдейты, только потом перейти к каталогу и вручную очистить его. Более подробная инструкция в нашем отдельном материале.

Способ 4: Восстановление файла Spupdsvc.exe

Файл Spupdsvc.exe входит в состав службы, отвечающей за обновление Windows 10. Он получает уведомление о том, что нужно устанавливать апдейты, когда они приходят для системы, после чего в реестр добавляется новый ключ для этого файла. Если в этой цепочки действий появляется сбой, то нередки ошибки при попытке обновить ОС, в том числе и 0x80070003. В этом случае может помочь обновление конфигурации этого файла. Проще всего сделать это, использовав специальную команду:

  1. Запустите «Командную строку» от имени администратора, отыскав средство через строку системного поиска.
  2. ошибка обновления 0x80070003 в windows 10-07

  3. В окне консоли введите команду cmd /c ren %systemroot%\System32\Spupdsvc.exe Spupdsvc.old и нажмите на клавишу «Enter», чтобы выполнить ее.
  4. ошибка обновления 0x80070003 в windows 10-08

Когда работа файла конфигурации будет восстановлена, попробуйте снова обновить Windows 10.

Способ 5: Проверка системных файлов на целостность

Повреждены могут быть и другие важные системные файлы. Это происходит по различным причинам, например из-за деятельности вирусов или критического сбоя в ОС. В таком случае корректное функционирование системы может быть нарушено. Но в Windows предусмотрены специальные инструменты, которые способны проверить компьютер на наличие таких файлов и восстановить их, причем в автоматическом режиме. Эта возможность упрощает проверку на целостность, ведь пользователю не нужно самостоятельно искать причину такого поведения и устранять неполадку. Достаточно использовать команды в консоли «Командная строка», чтобы запустить эти утилиты.

Способ 6: Сброс компонентов «Центра обновления»

Поскольку рассматриваемая ошибка может быть связана с «Центром обновления Windows», есть смысл сбросить его компоненты. Для этого нужно выполнить несколько команд, но зачастую этот метод решает проблемы, возникающие во время инсталляции апдейтов. Обычно сбрасываются компоненты в автоматическом режиме, но само по себе это происходит довольно редко, поэтому придется провести внеплановый сброс.

В «Командной строке», запущенной от имени администратора, нужно ввести восемь команд, где первые четыре приостанавливают работу «Центра обновления», а последние, соответственно, запускают ее:
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
net stop appidsvc
net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start bits
net start wuauserv
net start appidsvc
net start cryptsvc

Не забывайте, что после ввода каждой команды нужно нажимать клавишу «Enter», чтобы выполнить ее. Когда все будет готово, снова начните обновление Windows 10.

Если способ помог решить проблему, через «Проводник» перейдите к папке C:\Windows\System32 и удалите папки «SoftwareDistribution.old» и «catroot2.old».

Способ 7: Ручное обновление ОС

При появлении проблемы во время автоматического обновления осуществите установку апдейты самостоятельно. Это может помочь исправить системную ошибку, которая вызывает сбой. Выполняется процедура как с помощью вспомогательных программ, так и вручную – достаточно скачать с официального сайта необходимые обновления и установить их. Все варианты мы разбирали в наших отдельных руководствах.

Способ 8: Восстановление Windows

Если ни один способ не помог убрать ошибку обновления 0x80070003 в Windows 10, откатитесь до предыдущего ее состояния. Ведь может быть и так, что недавно установленные приложения стали причиной неисправности, или вы самостоятельно изменяли настройки системы, которые могли повлиять на обновления.
