    I did that and ran the troubleshooter again and it says that the error is fixed. However, windows update is still having the same problem for me and won't load at all.

    Hey,
    Let us check the system Files.To do this do both of these:


    • Perform System File Check (SFC)

    Follow the steps:

    a. Press “Windows Key + Q” to open search Bar.

    b. Type cmd without quotes in the search box.

    c. On the left pane, right click on the “cmd” option and select “Run as Administrator”.

    d. Type sfc /scannow’ without quotes and hit enter.




    • run the System update readiness command. It detects incorrect manifests, cabinets or registry data, it may replace the incorrect data with corrected version available. Follow the steps.


    1. Press Windows key + X.
    2. Click command prompt (Run as administrator).
    3. In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter.
    Reply back with the results would be happy to help.

    That is where the problem is.You would require an Installation media to repair those files.Use method 6 from here:
    DISM - Repair Windows 10 Image - Windows 10 Forums

    The installation media should be same according to your architecture,Language and Edition.

    Sorry Step 6 of option 1:
    6. To Use DISM /RestoreHealth /Source:wim Command

    Note
    You would use /Source with /RestoreHealth to specify the location of an install.wim file as the source of known good versions of files that can be used for the repair. This can take around 10-15 minutes up to a few hours to finish depending on the level of corruption. It will stay at 20% for a while before continuing.

    This can be useful if step 5 above was not able to repair the Windows image (component store).



    The install.wim file will be in the Sources folder of a mounted Windows 10 ISO (use ISO from OPTION ONE at link) file.

    If you have an install.esd file instead of install.wim, then you would need to use step 7 below instead.




    A) In the elevated command prompt, type the command below you want to use, press Enter, and go to step 8 below. (see screenshot below)

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:Full Path to install.wim file:1

    OR

    (To prevent DISM from using Windows Update for online images)
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:Full Path to install.wim file:1 /limitaccess

    For example:

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:D:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
