A common error that users run into when trying to update their system is 0x80070003.
This error is accompanied by a message stating “Some update files are missing.”
Let’s explore the reasons behind this issue and the solutions you could venture to resolve it.
Why Are Update Files Missing From Your PC?
This folder is located in the SoftwareDistribution folder, which is a directory of update-related information in Windows.
Both methods are safe to execute.
We have described the steps for doing this below.
For that, follow the next method below.
Once the folder is deleted, initiate the controls app and try installing the updates again.
The best way to do this is by using built-in system utilities like the System File Checker and DISM.
The System File Checker (SFC) will scan the protected system files for inconsistencies.
If it finds a file that is corrupt, SFC will replace it with its healthier cached counterpart.
DISM, on the other hand, will repair the system image.
We will be using the Command Prompt to run these tools.
This tool also works like the utilities we just described above.
We recommendcreating a restore pointbefore you proceed.
