  • [MEDIUM] Issue disappeared when conflicting startup utility was disabled.
  • [HIGH] windows user restored normal updates after running DISM and restart sequence.

Quick Fix

Try these steps in order for 0x8007067a: - Restart Windows and retry the failing action. - Confirm system date/time is correct and you have stable connectivity. - Free at least a few GB of disk space, then retry. - Temporarily disable third‑party security tools and re-test the action. - Reboot and retry the driver install with no other device installs. - Roll back the last driver change if the issue started after an update. - Disconnect non-essential peripherals and retry.

Advanced Fix

If quick steps did not resolve 0x8007067a: - If the issue started recently, review the last update/install window and roll back one change at a time. - Restart and re-test after each integrity step. - Run DISM repair: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - Run System File Checker: sfc /scannow - Remove the device from Device Manager (including driver package) and reinstall cleanly. - Use the vendor driver package instead of generic Windows Update drivers. - Check for BIOS/firmware updates if hardware initialization errors persist. Verification: - Re-run the exact failing action twice after a fix (not just once). - If the problem disappears only temporarily, follow related links from the same cluster and compare symptoms. - Stop after the first step that fixes it and document the change.
