The net updates download and installed just fine but not KB5032189, i think am going to bite the bullet and try the in place upgrade for windows 10 tomorrow as others have managed to repair and install these updates with it. i keep you posted how it goes
Problem with a windows update KB5031356 (windows 10)
Hello,
I tried to update windows yesterday and ran into some issues, this package : KB5031356 won't install, it downloads it, then it takes some time to install (even though I have a fast NVME SSD) it gets stuck near 20% for a bit, then it goes and goes all the way to 100%, then it gives me this error code : 0x8007000d
Ok so since I know a bit about computers, I have tried a whole bunch of things, also tried to google and look for more fixes, nothing works so far, kind of desperate and I'm affraid I will have to reinstall windows, yet again, it feels like I must do that every year at this point as it always gets corrupted somehow, very strange..
I have tried these classic fixes :
SFC/Scannow
Checkhealth
Scanhealth
Restorehealth
It did find some issues with scannow, which got repaired (supposedly..)
I also tried the troubleshooting apps, as suggested by some websites :
Troubleshooting windows update
Troubleshooting intelligent background (BITS)
I also had issues when some software crashed on me, discord and as I was trying to update my motherboard software, it crashed and other apps started crashing.. so I restarted
I got the updates for the motherboard software to work and managed to fix discord by deleting the folder in the appdata folder, but this indicates some issues I think
I have also noticed something VERY strange, in task manager, a huge number of my services are simply disactivated, here are some screenshots to give an idea :
I suspect some malware potentially aswell, so I ran a whole bunch of scans..
Windows antivirus, nothing
Microsoft security scanner, nothing
Malwarebytes, nothing
Adwcleaner, only find a minor adware it would seem very harmless according to my research, quarantined
I even tried to run the app called windows repair app (from a trusted website, I shall not mention, don't wanna advertise them but if you look it up you'll see it's legit), it runs a bunch of command and powershell to try to repair things, such as repair the microsoft store etc.
A few weeks ago I did change some settings regarding admin rights, as I wanted to remove the bloatware in windows and I was curious to see what was in the windowsapp folder.. following some instructions on some website, I ran some command to allow admin rights, but I think it allowed more than just windowsapp
I was curious to see because I couldn't even check the size of that folder..
I read on reddit it could cause some issues, I thought, perhaps these guys were really not lucky and honestly didn't think some simple permission settings could break windows.
This was a few weeks ago aswell and I'm pretty sure I ran updates since that happened.
Unfortunatly I couldn't find the blog post anymore that I used, I wanted to revert the permissions (it literally opened a cmd or powershell and ran a whole bunch of commands permissions to allow admin rights)
Perhaps some of you know the command to revert that..
like I said I really hope I won't have to reinstall windows yet again..I feel like I'm being hack because this always happens and it's strange issues like these, maybe I'm being a bit paranoid
Could it just be a broken windows update ?? I googled and didn't find anything indicating this could be the case..
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks GOGI71 and Jimbo et al.
There is one major fly in the ointment - those ar53h0l35 at MS have removed the uninstall option from Hedge - even the cmd admin version. It runs and doesn't fail but doesn't delete hedge either. D1ckh34d5.
I am using Win 10 Pro as well - so there is no 'W10 Home' justification for this!
The world doesn't want hedge - it's slow, unreliable, intrusive, hungry and unattractive, and also seems to be dependent on Bling which is also all of the above.
OK I use a whole raft of Google stuff - but at least they are honest about what they use my data for. MS are waaaaaay too secretive about what they use my data for. I refuse to believe it is just for 'my benefit'. They are not that altruistic!
I have used GPEdit to stop it auto-starting its processes and set the registry values to prevent re-installation.
I have also deleted the .exe for the damned thing and that seems to have stopped it in its tracks.
Worryingly there are two more hedge apps in settings>Apps but they seem to be suitably stymied by the deletion of the exe for now!
