I am trying to check for windows updates and also download apps from the microsoft store but I keep getting an error. The error code on the store is 0x80070422. I have gone on services and tried to set windows update to automatic but it says access denied even though I am the administrator and there are no other accounts on my pc. I have disabled stopwindowsupdate10 on services but i still cant set windows update to automatic as access is denied for some reason. I have checked countless tutorials online and nothing has helped.

Hi,
This problem has been going on for the past few months and I did not install any program before this problem started. I have tried the system scan as you suggested and it says
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.
I then tried to set windows update to automatic and it still says access denied. I have also tried restarting my pc after this and trying again but I get the same message.
