feature update to windows 10 version 20h2 failed to install 0x80070003

Question

Hello all,

I was able to get today's security update. But ever since it came out this update has failed to install. It's just a cyclical failure, happened ten times now. The update troubleshooter just recommends restarting... Which does nothing. Am I supposed to manually install this somehow?

Thank you for your time.

Hi, @I_Voyager
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
It looks like someone has the same issue as you, and he found this issue is related to the audio drivers from Dell, you may check laughey's reply in this thread for more details:
