Hello. Error 0x800f0983 usually points to a problem with the Windows Update cache or damaged system files.
Please, follow these steps:
- Open PowerShell as Administrator (right-click Start > Windows PowerShell or Terminal > Run as administrator).
- Stop the update services and clear the update cache by running these commands one by one:
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
Rename-Item C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Rename-Item C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start bits
After that, restart your PC and check for updates again.

Let me know if the update still fails after this.
