Home windows 11 driver updates are reportedly failing with model 22H2 of the working system in some instances, though we’ve heard that Microsoft would possibly simply be engaged on a repair for this irritating subject (extra on that later).
As noticed by Neowin (opens in new tab), the bug was highlighted on Twitter by Barb Bowman, who’s a veteran Microsoft beta tester and MVP.
[email protected] @Home windows see https://t.co/tc6cVThOWT and a number of posts within the Floor boards. Reviews are rising of this and I see it right here on Floor Laptop computer Studio. pic.twitter.com/6lLjNFTIcPFebruary 16, 2023
As Bowman observes, the driving force replace failures – and there are many them – appear to be affecting homeowners of Floor units, however there are experiences from these with different forms of PC, too.
In replies to that thread on Twitter, customers with Dell Inspiron and HP PCs additional chime in to tell us that they too have been affected by these replace failures.
The driving force replace falls over with the error code ‘0x80070103’, which is among the usually unhelpful messages that Home windows produces typically when issues go awry.
Evaluation: An answer is being labored on – we hope
It is a quite odd one affecting a variety of {hardware} drivers, together with Intel and Realtek, throughout a bunch of Home windows 11 22H2 PCs.
As for a possible resolution, Intel does supply some assist (opens in new tab) pertaining to this error code, particularly to “use the Home windows Replace Troubleshooter” to resolve the issue, however that looks like a quite generic piece of recommendation. We’re undecided how a lot hope we’d maintain out that this may really remedy any replace failures (to place it mildly).
It’s attainable these replace errors are being produced as a result of Home windows 11 is making an attempt to put in an older model of the driving force in query, Neowin factors out, however that begs the query: why is the OS doing this anyway?
Regardless of the case, hopefully Microsoft will already be investigating this, and certainly on Twitter, it’s mentioned (opens in new tab) that this can be a identified subject and a repair is being labored on. Nevertheless, it’s not clear how the supply of that tweet is related to Microsoft, save for his or her profile saying that they’re: “Working to assist IT Admins handle Home windows Updates with the Home windows Insider Program for Enterprise.”
Fingers crossed {that a} decision is on the horizon as is seemingly being promised, at any price.
