Update installation error

W10 Home 20H2

The first update batch for 2021 is recently released: KB4598242. But I failed to install it due to error code:0x8007000d. Two online "how-to" instructions to correct the error did not help.

Use Windows Update Troubleshooter.

Right-click on Start button and pick Settings
Go to Update & Security > Troubleshoot
Click on Windows Update and select Run the troubleshooter

Download Windows updates manually.

Go to the official Microsoft update catalog;
Enter a specific update code, for example, KB4481031
Select the correct version and click Download
Click on the link and Windows will update your computer

Resetting the Windows Update components can usually solve these types of issues.

SFC /scannow and chkdsk /r did not find any file or disk error

Troubleshooter did not help.
Installation from catalog has the same result. Same error.

BTW: This is the only update that always failed (x 8 times). Other updates have been and are being installed seamlessly.

did you disable any services before it stopped working?

coolnewyorker · 15 Jan 2021

I have never intentionally or knowingly disabled any services.

BTW: Every day I install at least one update with no problem. This particular update has failed to be installed X 8 times already, with same error.

This tutorial input from Brink - Reset_Reregister_Windows_Update_Components.bat - was blocked with a warning that it can damage my device.

Try to install update KB4598481 first. It's a servicing stack update.

It will definitely cause no damage to your device.

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...px?q=KB4598481 is already installed (on 1/11)

I tried to install Brink's tutorial and again it was blocked. (by what/whom? W Defender?) again with the same reason.

Click on "More info"-->"Run anyway".

The only options are Keep and Report safe, which I did but W Defender Screen just does not allow it installed.
There is no option to Run anyway. The Keep anyway resulted in this pop out which shows only one option: Don't run
