How can I fix error 0x80070661?

  1. Restart Your Computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can help resolve update-related issues. Restart your computer and then try to install the updates again.

  2. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter:

    • Type "Troubleshoot" in the Windows search bar and open the "Troubleshoot settings" option.
    • Under "Get up and running," select "Windows Update" and then click "Run the troubleshooter."
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to identify and resolve any issues with Windows Update.

  3. Check for Pending Updates: Make sure there are no other updates that are currently being installed or pending. Sometimes, multiple updates can conflict with each other.

  4. Check for Sufficient Disk Space: Ensure that you have enough free disk space on your system drive (usually the C: drive) for the updates to be installed.

  5. Disable Antivirus and Firewall: Sometimes, security software can interfere with updates. Temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall, then try installing the updates. Remember to re-enable them afterward.

  6. Reset Windows Update Components:

    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
    • Run the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each:
      net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver
    • Close Command Prompt and try to update again.

  7. Manually Install the Update: If you know which update is causing the issue, you can try downloading the update manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog and then installing it.

  8. Check System Integrity:

    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
    • Run the following command: sfc /scannow
    • This will scan and repair system file integrity issues. Reboot your computer afterward.

  9. Run DISM Tool:

    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
    • Run the following command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    • This will repair the Windows image. Restart your computer afterward.

  10. Perform System Restore: If the error started occurring after a recent update or software installation, you can perform a system restore to a point before the issue started.

  11. Update Drivers: Outdated drivers can sometimes cause update errors. Make sure your hardware drivers are up to date.
