2. Use System File Checker

If you still face the 0xc1900403 issue then, maybe this occurs because of file corruption. To repair corrupted files or correct missing ones, you may use the SFC tool. Here’s how to do the SFC scanning on your PC –

Type the Command Prompt in the Search box (displayed on the desktop beside the Windows icon)
Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
When the black screen appears, type the command sfc/scannow and hit the Enter key.

Keep patience and wait until the process gets 100% completed. The whole process will take 15-20 minutes.
After completion of this process, restart your system to implement the above changes.

3. Run DISM Scan

If the Windows 10 image gets corrupted somehow, this might also cause the 0xc1900403 error. To address this, you must run the DISM command using the following steps –

Right-click on Windows Icon and select Windows Power Shell (Admin).
When the UAC pop-up comes into the display, hit Yes to grant the permission.
On the elevated console, execute the below command line –

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Once this is over, close PowerShell and Reboot your system.

Log back into your device and see if this helps to update your Windows or not.

4. Clear Software Distribution Folder

If you still do not overcome this error, the Windows Cache folder might be the real culprit. If you haven’t cleared this folder for a long time, open the Software distribution folder and remove all its contents. However, make sure to disable the essential Windows services first. To do so, use the following steps –

Press the Windows + R keys to start the Run dialog.
Type “cmd” in the text field and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys altogether.
When Command Prompt comes into view, run these codes one by one –

net stop wuauserv

net stop bits

When the prompt displays the message – “Windows Update Service was stopped successfully“, go to the below location –

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

Press CTRL + A to select all the files available inside this folder and delete them.
After clearing the Windows cache folder, make sure to start those services that you stopped recently i.e. Windows Update and BITS. To do so, use these codes –

net start wuauserv
net start bits

Lastly, restart your PC so that the changes made come into effect from the next login.
