Update: As suggested later in this thread somewhere to delete the contents of "**C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth**" directory (content inside the "SecurityHealth" folder). I've tried this as well and no luck with the same exact issue and same experience as my post here.
@M3KSG,
That has nothing to do with the error 0x8007007e that you showed earlier.
That folder C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth\1.0.2109.27002-0 is present only if you have the Security issue showing the message below in Device security.
