    I have a HP laptop with Windows 10. When it goes to update, it goes for about 20 min and then says it can’t update and goes about another 20 minutes to uninstall the incomplete updates. It gives an error code of 0x80070003. I’ve tried a lot of fixes and then went for this program to fix it, but backed out because they wanted a monthly fee. Can someone tell me how to fix this (in very simple language) or recommend a program that will work for a small fee? Thank you in advance.

    I am not sure if your problem is same as mine but I had to somehow remove the partially downloaded update and start over. Cant remember how I did it though. I just googled the hell out of it

    It means Bill Gates has hacked your computer and will only unhack it if you can impress him by jumping over a chair. Post recording in standard video form. Thanks.

    I don't remember jumping any chairs...maybe they accepted falling out of it while my webcam was loading...?

    Edit: come to think of it, my webcam is always unplugged, maybe my kinect saw something worthy of attention?

    They all mean the same.

    It means you have to google it and do the instrictions in microsoft forum.

    Going here is the same thing as googling

    From the sound of things, you are running windows 10 and the update fails which is all I really know. If there was more information, help could be more easily provided. Anyway, I would contact Microsoft if you already followed these two link instructions:
    You could also try https://www.bleepingcomputer.com for their forums to get some answers but again, asking Microsoft is the best answer.

    Hence why I stay at Windows 8.1. however buggy it was, it was much better (IMO) than Windows 10.

    My otouto installed Windows 10, and honestly both me and him hate the UI.
    Also, I never use APP function in Windows 8. Just plain old start menu.
    Tablet thingy will be alright if my cheap laptop had a touch screen, tough.
