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.
