Windows Update error 0x80070643

Question

Today I tried to check for Windows updates, it said that "they encountered an error" at the installation phase.

The error code they gave me was 0x80070643.

I tried running troubleshooter, resetting the update, and running a bunch of command prompt commands.

I have tried it, it just gives me a prompt that says "Thank you for updating."

On the Windows Update page of Settings, it gives me the same message.
