Cannot install Windows 10 Creator update: “something went wrong” error code 0x800703ed
I have an older Lenovo Thinkpad that I dual boot Win10 & Kali Linux on. I cannot get the "Creator's Edition" update to install. The error code I keep getting is 0x800703ed
So far I have:
- Ran ChkDsk /F /R
- Reset Windows Update Components via these instructions (though perhaps I missed a step since there are so many).
- Ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:E: /LimitAccess (where E: was the Windows 10 mounted ISO)
I am out of ideas here. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

If you mount the current 1703 ISO while within Windows, and start the upgrade process, does it still fail?

Updating from a Windows 10 Build to a newer one is an upgrade like Win7 to 8. And here Windows always failed in dual boot situations with Linux. Backup the Linux, delete the Linux, update to (Fall) Creators Update 1703/1709, restore the Linux partition.

I had very similar situations several times, and each time it went away when I removed some external devices and removed my 4k screen.
So try to disconnect all non-elementary USB devices, and reduce your screen resolution to 1024x768. Then try it again. Once it is successfully installed, change the screen back to what you had, and plug everything back in, there should be no issues.
