Windows Update Error Code 80070103
After researching a bit in the Microsoft libraries, I found that this Windows Update error code 80070103 is displayed if you try to install a device driver that is already installed on your PC or if the driver that you are trying to install, has a lower compatibility rating, than the one you have already installed on your Windows computer. Now, why would I try to install some driver twice? It was Windows Update that had offered me this update. It was then that I realized that just two days back, Windows Update had offered to install some Intel driver, which I had installed successfully. And it was again an Intel driver that was being offered to me again, today. If you receive Windows Update error 80070103 while installing updates, you might be trying to install a driver that is already installed on your computer or a driver that has a lower compatibility rating than one you already have installed. In case you still need to install the driver, you will need to install the driver manually by downloading it from the manufacturer’s website. Else, this issue can be safely ignored if this applies to a driver. Microsoft suggests that you can safely hide this update so it is not offered again. I decided to hide the driver update. See this post if you receive Windows could not search for new updates, Code 80244FFF, Windows ran into a problem message.
