Windows 10 Update KB5043064 - Error Code 0x800706be

[Montezuma]

Anybody else had problems with this recent update ?

It failed several times to install, despite "TRYING AGAIN LATER", on 3 separate days.

I ran the troubleshooter - No use !

I tried Win 10 Update Assistant - Useless

I ran sfc /scannow - Made no difference

I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth - Still not enabling the update

Eventually I ran a Bat file which seems to have done the trick.

If anybody needs it, here it is.

net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
net stop appidsvc
net stop cryptsvc
Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\."
rmdir %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /Q
rmdir %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 /S /Q
regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll
regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll
regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll
netsh winsock reset
netsh winsock reset proxy
net start bits
net start wuauserv
net start appidsvc
net start cryptsvc

Just copy the bat file into notepad, and then save it to 'desktop' as a memorable name of some sort .

Then run it.

All at your own risk of course, but it worked for me, on my 10 year old ASUS Notebook.

NOTE:
I am no PC nerd, I found all these options in different videos via Google.

I really need to buy a new laptop of some sort ?
