I ran into a rather strange problem after restoring a VM: Windows Updates would not install. The failure codes returned were 80070643 or 80071A91. After checking the integrity of the file system using “sfc /scannow” and rebooting, the problem persisted. Luckily, I found the following fix. A check disk was automatically initiated after the reboot, which found and corrected some problems.
