Resolve install error 0x80070103 for Realtek - SoftwareComponent - 12.0.6000.1139

Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

Windows is probably trying to install an older driver version than the one currently installed.

The best option is to hide this update using Microsoft's "Show or Hide updates" tool. Download from the link below.

https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

Run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions to hide the update.

You might need to restart your computer or wait a few minutes for the update to be removed from the Windows Update list. Alternatively, you can check for new updates by clicking "Check for updates" a few times. If you don't have the "Check for updates" button, press "Retry".

If you need to update any driver, download the latest version from the support area of the computer manufacturer's website.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

This is the error I am facing.

Sorry for the delay in reply. I've been offline.

Thanks for the screenshot.

This is a false positive. This tool is officially made available by Microsoft, and the link is legitimate.

Do the following:

Place your mouse cursor over the download, select the three dots button (...), and select "Keep".

Feel free to ask back any questions.
