Unsolved problem installing an update to Windows 10 error 0x8007001f

Question

When I try to update Windows 10, the computer finishes the process, and then says "Cancel the changes". In Windows updates, the computer writes error 0x8007001f.

I've followed all the suggestions written here, tried all the suggestions, including running DISM, sfc, cleaning setup and TEMP files, and nothing helps.

I don't want to do a clean install, since I have a lot of software installed.

Maybe there is a problem with the REGISTRY?

Hello Gur Melamed，

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Here are some other steps you can try:

1. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.

• Select Windows Update and click Run the troubleshooter.

2. Disable Antivirus Software:

• Temporarily disable any third-party antivirus software you have installed, as it might be interfering with the update process.

3. Reset Windows Update Components:

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands one by one:

• net stop wuauserv

• net stop cryptSvc

• net stop bits

• net stop msiserver

• ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

• ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

• net start wuauserv

• net start cryptSvc

• net start bits

• net start msiserver

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
