If you receive error code “0x8007001f” on Windows 10 and you are trying to install a Windows Update or check for a Windows Update, there are several workarounds that can be applied. This error is closely related to audio drivers. First thing to try is disable your antivirus or internet security temporarily and then try installing the Windows Update.
If this doesn’t work, uninstall and reinstall your audio drivers. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install. Once installed, start Revo then select your sound card software among the applications and click “Uninstall”. Follow the normal uninstall process. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click to restart later.
When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds. This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, exit Revo then restart the computer. After booting, install the sound card driver back. If you have a laptop or a branded computer, download the audio driver from the following manufacturers:
If this doesn’t work, try emptying the “SoftwareDistribution” folder cache. Press the Windows key + R to bring up the “Run” dialog then type without quotes “cmd” then hit Enter to launch an elevated command prompt. In the command prompt window, type the following commands then hit Enter after each command:
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
net stop cryptSvc
net stop msiserver
Next, open Windows Explorer then navigate to “C:\Windows”. Locate the folder called “SoftwareDistribution” then rename it to something like “SoftwareDistribution.old”. After this, navigate to “C:\Windows\System32”. Locate the folder called “catroot2” then rename it to something like “catroot2.old”. When you are finished, go back to the command prompt and run the following commands:
net start msiserver
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start wuauserv
When you are finished, restart the computer then try Windows Update again.
