I have 2 updates that are failing to install in windows 10. Those 2 are, with the errors:
Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081438) - Error 0x80070bc9
Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081704) - Error 0x80070643
I'm running win 10 64 bit upgraded from Windows 7. Anything I can do to install these without error?
I got KB3081438 installed, now it's just KB3081704.
