When these files get corrupted, it conflicts with the update process and eventually stops you from installing the update. So, delete this folder using the following instructions and your problem should be gone.
- Open the File Explorer window using the Win + E keys.
- Browse to the path: This PC > Local Disk (C:). In case your Windows is installed on some other drive, open it.

- Now, search for the $WINDOWS. ~ BT folder.
- Once you find it, either rename it or delete it.
If you choose to delete the folder, you may see a message saying that you don’t have permission to delete the folder. In such a case, you can rename the folder, however, it has the same effect as deleting it.
After deleting the folder, restart your computer. When it boots up, try installing the update and see if the problem has been resolved now.
4. Reset Windows Update Components to fix Error Code 0xc1900107
And finally, if none of the above solutions worked for you, try resetting Windows Update Components. When Windows Update Components become corrupted, you’ll not be able to install any update, and that causes Error Code 0xc1900107.
