Windows Update Encountered an Error
Windows Update encountered some problem when installing updates, error 0x80071160, not surprising but why didn’t the correction work for?
The first thing I did was run Deployment Image Servicing Management Tool (DISM) RestoreHealth option; the operation completed successfully so I ran sfc /scannow. It did not find any integrity violations.
Next I deleted the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder. After deleting the files I restarted Windows Update and Background Intelligent Transfer services. When I ran Windows Update it failed again, same error 0x80071160.
Next, to eliminate conflicts with Non-Microsoft program I performed a Clean Boot. When I ran Windows Updates it failed error 0x80071160.
What should I do to correct the problem?
