How to fix error 0x80070543 in windows 10?

The automatic Windows update is failing with error 0x80070543. I reboot and try again but the same error occurs.
I had similar problems on my laptop about three months ago. Windows eventually got so unstable on my laptop that I had to re-install Windows.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be happening and what I can do to resolve it?

    Here is my IsWindowsHealthy.bat file. It tests some of the basic areas that might impact Windows Update. Save it and run it from an admin command prompt. Let's see if it produces any errors.

    cls  
    @echo.-------------------------------------------  
    @echo.    Run check disk   
    @echo.-------------------------------------------  
    chkdsk c:  
    @set rc=%errorlevel%  
    @echo.RC=%rc%  
    @if not "%rc%"=="0" goto exit  
    @echo.  
    @echo.-------------------------------------------  
    @echo.     Dism CheckHealth    
    @echo.-------------------------------------------  
    Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth  
    @set rc=%errorlevel%  
    @echo.RC=%rc%  
    @if not "%rc%"=="0" goto exit  
    @echo.  
    @echo.-------------------------------------------  
    @echo.    Dism ScanHealth  
    @echo.-------------------------------------------  
    Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth   
    @set rc=%errorlevel%  
    @echo.RC=%rc%  
    @if not "%rc%"=="0" goto exit  
    @echo.  
    @echo.-------------------------------------------  
    @echo.    Dism AnalyzeComponentstore  
    @echo.-------------------------------------------  
    Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /AnalyzeComponentstore  
    @set rc=%errorlevel%  
    @echo.RC=%rc%  
    @if not "%rc%"=="0" goto exit  
    REM My PC hasn't been messed up to the point where I need to execute a Dism RestoreHealth   
    REM Leaving this as a reminder that we might need to add it in somewhere.    
    REM Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /restoreHealth  
    REM @echo. RC=%errorlevel%  
    @echo.  
    @echo.  
    @echo. If Component Store Cleanup Recommended : Yes  
    @echo. Run Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup  
    @echo.

    @echo.RC=%rc%  
    :exit
