Hi @gdottheking

Error code 0x8007000D usually indicates that ERROR_INVALID_DATA. This error can be caused by a corrupted Windows update component or system file. You can try running the Windows Update troubleshooter, or reset the Windows Update component, or use the System File Checker to fix potential problems. About how to restore, there are 2 methods.

Method 1: use DISM.

1.Please open the Command Prompt as an administrator, and run the following 2 commands:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess

2.Run the following command after the above commands run:

sfc /scannow

3.Close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.

You can also try downloading the update package directly from the Microsoft update catalog and installing it manually.
