«Код 643» может возникать во время установки обновлений для операционной системы Windows 7. Впрочем, некоторые пользователи отмечают, что данная ошибка может проявляться и на Windows 8/8.1, но куда реже.
Причины ошибки «Код 643»
Как правило, для этой ошибки выделяют всего две причины:
- вмешательство стороннего антивируса в работу Центра обновления Windows;
- поврежденные библиотеки программной платформы .NET Framework.
В данной статье мы рассмотрим с вами целых четыре способа решения ошибки «Код 643». Обязательно попробуйте для начала выполнить первый способ в списке ниже, а затем пробуйте остальные в свободном порядке.
Способы решения ошибки «Код 643»
Способ №1 Средство устранения неполадок
Для решения разнообразных проблем при обновлении Windows было выпущено средство устранения неполадок Центра обновления. В Windows 10 это средство уже встроено в систему, однако для Windows 7 вам может потребоваться загрузить его с официального сайта Майкрософт.
Перейдите по этой ссылке и загрузите средство на свой компьютер. Запустите средство и нажмите на пункт «Дополнительно». Поставьте галочку возле опции «Автоматически применять исправления» и нажмите кнопку «Далее». Подождите, пока средство устранения неполадок закончит свою работу, а затем проверьте, была ли решена ошибка «Код 643» при обновлении.
Способ №2 Переустановка .NET Framework
Проблемы при обновлении Windows часто возникают из-за поврежденных файлов программной платформы .NET Framework. В таком случае вы можете выполнить переустановку этой платформы и посмотреть, исправит ли это проблему. Чтобы переустановить .NET Framework, вам нужно сделать следующее:
- перейдите по этой ссылке для загрузки средства по удалению .NET framework;
- разархивируйте загруженные файлы и запустите «cleanup_tool.exe»;
- подтвердите запуск средства, нажав на кнопку «Да»;
- согласитесь с лицензионным соглашением, нажав «Yes»;

- далее перейдите по этой ссылке, загрузите и установите последнюю версию .NET Framework;
- перезапустите компьютер.
Запускаем обновление Windows и смотрим, исчезла ли ошибка «Код 643» в Центре обновления.
Способ №3 Отключение стороннего антивируса
У вас на компьютере работает сторонний антивирус? Не хочется разочаровывать, но именно он и может вызывать появление проблем при обновлении Windows. Мы рекомендуем отключить активную защиту своего антивируса и снова попытаться обновить систему. Если это помогло, то дело действительно заключало в чересчур заботливом антивирусном ПО.
Способ №4 Восстановление .NET Framework
Еще можно попробовать восстановить файлы платформы .NET Framework, которая установлена у вас на компьютере. Для этого вам нужно сделать следующее:
- откройте Панель управления;
- перейдите в раздел «Программы и компоненты»;
- найдите в списках .NET Framework различных версий;
- нажимайте на каждую версию .NET Framework правой кнопкой мыши и выбирайте «Починить»;
- следуйте инструкциям на экране;
- по окончанию восстановления всех версий .NET Framework перезагрузите компьютер.
Мы надеемся, что вы решили ошибку «Код 643» на своем ПК.
