Windows 10 update error 0x8007000d

Anonymous

I have been trying to update to "2022-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5011487)" and each time it fully downloads the update, starts installing and then comes up with the 0x8007000d error (update files corrupted or missing). Sometimes it comes up fairly quickly and sometimes it gets all the way to 100% before showing up. I have tried most of the things i can find on the internet (windows update troubleshooter, clearing windows update cache folder, resetting windows update components manually, reinstalling drivers, DISM scan, SFC scan, reconfigured Group Policy Setting) None of these seemed to find any issues but i reattempted the update after each one. I have also set my RAM profile back to default because it was manually overclocked. This isnt an issue due to problems with system storage either as im using a fairly new SSD that isnt having any issues while doing anything else.

Short of reinstalling windows is there anything else i can do that might fix the problem?

    Paloma and all,

    At long last, I am up to date with Windows Update as of today!

    The Wufix.bat script/procedure did not solve the problem for me. It look a VERY long time to do run the script and then wait for the "2022-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems" Windows Update to download and install, but it did NOT resolve the issue. I still had the 0x8007000d error after the "2022-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems" update finally got to the end of its installation.

    Since the Wufix.bat script/procedure did not resolve the issue, I then used the Microsoft tool (Windows Update Assistant) using the https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=799445 link that Paloma mentioned above in this thread. This also took a VERY long time to finish (probably about 12 hours!) but it did get to 100% and asked me to restart my laptop. Once I restarted the laptop, it restarted on its own a number of times. When it finally did finish applying all of the updates, my laptop said that the latest Windows Update failed with a 0x800705b4 error. Thinking that I was never going to get past this problem, I clicked on the Retry square since it was a different error number and the laptop booted again. But this time it SUCCESSFULLY installed both the "2022-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems" update and the "2022-02 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64" update. See below for a portion of my Windows Update history for the 2 updates that successfully installed today. Note that the "2022-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems" update now shows "KB4023057" instead of "KB5011487". I don't know if that difference is because I used the link above that Paloma provided or not, but I assume that that was the difference that finally led to my Windows Update success.

    Good luck to everyone else that has had this issue. I hope that this method for resolving this issue works for you! If not, maybe someone else on this thread will have a different suggestion.

    Regards,

    Jerry O.

    Paloma, thanks for the suggestion. I will try it and let you and others know the result.

    I have been having this issue for awhile now with my Lenovo ideapad 330 laptop. I got to the point where I did a "Reset PC" operation and removed all programs (but not my personal files) since I was blocked by Windows in going back to an earlier restore point. Then when I went to Windows Update after the "Reset PC" operation, I still got the 0x8007000d error! This is turning into a black hole as far as my time and I am about to give up on this laptop. So frustrating. If anyone else has suggestions or solutions for this issue, please respond on this thread.

    Thanks,

    Jerry O.

    Hi, I ran this but it failed to stop cryptsvc (i ran this command again on its own later and it looks like it couldnt stop it because appidsvc was still running). As a result the two Rename commands didnt work either. I reattempted the update afterwards anyway, and three other updates also appeared all of which updated with no problems but the update i was originally trying to do failed again.

    I am going to retry the same thing but with net stop appidsvc before net stop cryptsvc before i try anything else.

    Thanks for your help so far
