Hi Muhd,
It appears that the Datastore folder couldn't be cleared.
Can you please boot into Safe mode and run that batch file again?
Instructions to boot into Safe mode are mentioned in this article:

Error 0x800F0900 ("CBS_E_XML_PARSER_FAILURE") is caused by the corruption of manifests in the component store. If DISM, as suggested by Carl-L, doesn't help, please repair install Windows 11 via Settings.
Launch Settings > System > Recovery. Under "Fix problems using Windows Update", select Reinstall now.
This does a repair installation, keeping your files, apps, and settings.

2026-02-18T14:08:54.21+00:00 Hello Muhd Azreen,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Sometimes the DISM might not be stuck when it stopped updating, it just busy with checking things and might take some time.
You can go to the PowerShell as administrator and type this command. Get-Content C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log -tail 10 -wait. If this add new lines in a regular basis, the DISM is still running well.
Additionally, can you please try the other user suggestion as well if that doesn't work and tell me how it go?
I'm waiting for your reply.
