April 19 Surface Book Update failure - Error 0x800f0203

While applying today's updates, I received a Blue screen. After it restarted, it applied updates before continuing into Windows startup.

Went into Windows Update and clicked on Install for the remaining ones that were yet to be applied. Then I get this error:

* Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Control Logic - Error - 0x800f0203

I clicked Retry, it says no updates available.

Click check for updates and again:

* Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Control Logic - Error - 0x800f0203

Rebooted, still offering this driver and failing with same error.

    this workaround was posted on reddit (and fixed the issue for me!):

    • Open the setupapi.dev.log log file from c:\windows\inf.
    • Find the error "Failed to install device instance".
    • Above this error it will say which inf file caused the issue. In my case oem90.inf
    • Run "pnputil -d oem90.inf" from an elevated command prompt
    • Re-run windows update and install

    After getting the updates today received bsod during update process.  looks like all installed except one.  I see the following message:

    Intel Corporation driver update for Microsoft Camera Rear - Error 0x800f0203

    Have retried numerous times and it keeps failing.  Ran windows update troubleshooter, it says it fixed something, but still no luck on  installing this driver.

    Anyone else having the same problem, any ideas?

    UPDATE: Solution found by bbernd on page 3.

    ======================================

    My experience on my Surface Book matches Don's exactly.

    BSOD while installing and now the final driver is failing to install:

    Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) Control Logic - Error 0x800f0203

    I have retried. I have restarted. I have run the Windows Update Troubleshooter. still will not install.

    mine went through fine. i7 model

    try going into device manager > system devices and right click and choose update there does it find a driver

    mine shows the control logic 3 times. might need to try on all of them.

    Also check to see under view show hidden items is on as the failing one might be hidden
