The only thing that fixed the '0x8007000d' error for me was upgrading my windows through MediaCreationTool20H2 tool, I have tried everything else I could find online and nothing worked, but after upgrading windows with this tool "Create Windows 10 installation media"

found here: "https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10" my problem went away. Choose the option 'Upgrade this PC now' after opening the app and then the option keep apps and files, that option is default anyway. Here is the link Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com).

edit: Just in case, there are two downloads on the page the first is "Update Now" the second is "Download tool now", use the second one 'download tool now'. Some people have said the upgrade might fail for some if unnecessary USB drives and devices is plugged in while doing the upgrade, I haven't experienced this, but just in case unplug all unnecessary USB devices.

    Thanks you. Since 2021, no updates (other than Microsoft's antivirus updates) have been successful. Error 0x8007000d everywhere.

    Method 1. Did it repeatedly. Did not help.

    Method 2. Clean boot did not help.

    Method 3. Uploaded updates manually. The same mistake. Did not help.

    Method 4. Components are discarded. Did not help.

    Method 5. Corrected errors, did not help.

    Bonus number 1. DISM (with auto-update storage from the Internet or from the 20H2 image from Microsoft), SFC, check disk for errors, disconnect all devices, update drivers, reset BIOS, reset update center, remove previous updates, remove installed programs, remove cache, check driver signatures , deleting temporary files, disabling services and startup, safe mode, clean boot, checking memory, recovering from MediaCreationTool 20H2 with saving files, working in a temporary account, nothing helped, nothing. Each update is fully downloaded, installed to 100%, and then ends with error 0x8007000d. No one has ever given a working solution to this problem. There is only one way out. Formatting the disk and completely reinstalling Windows with the loss of all files and programs.

    KB4601382 (2021) - Error 0x8007000d

    KB4601319 (2021) - error 0x8007000d

    Any subsequent KB update will give this error too, I'm 100% sure. Why did I buy Windows? ;-(

    Bonus number 2. Nearby is the same new computer as the one on which the 0x8007000d errors occur. Exactly the same software, exactly the same hardware, an exact exact copy of everything. And all Microsoft updates work on it. Thanks you...

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you are facing issues installing Windows updates on your PC. I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue.  

    • Are you able to install other windows updates or do you have issues only with installing KB4592438?
    • What is the make and model of the PC?

    I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.

    Method 1:  Windows Update Troubleshooter

    I suggest you run the Windows Update Troubleshooter and check if you are able to install Widows updates.

    Method 2: Clean boot

    Try booting your PC in clean boot and attempt to install Windows updates. Refer to the article on How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    **Note:**Clean Boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. Also, you may not be able to use some programs in clean boot. 

    Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.

    Method 3: If the update has failed to installed, you may download and install the update manually by accessing the **Microsoft Update Catalog** and typing in the KB article number of the failed update.

    Method 4: Reset Windows update components in Windows

    I suggest you **** Reset Windows update components in Windows  and check if you are able to install Widows updates.

    Method 5: Fix Windows Update errors

    I suggest you refer and follow the suggestion on how to Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10

    Note: Before performing chkdsk, please backup the Data. While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost.

    Note: Please ignore the suggestions for “Perform a clean installation of Windows 10” from the above article.

    Hope it helps.

    Last failed install attempt on ‎2021-‎02-‎25 - 0x8007000d

    min clean Boot has Nothing to do with why just the min help it's become a recurring error

    2021-02 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB4601382)

    the last 2 Updates have failed

    A more aggressive fix might be to open command prompt (admin) and copy and paste all these in , one shot will work usually.

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop cryptSvc

    net stop bits

    net stop msiserver

    Del C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat

    Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak

    Ren C:\Windows\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak

    after a reboot delete;

    Del c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution.bak

    Del c:\windows\system32\catroot2.bak

    ~

    Have tried numerous times and it's clear to me that this is a Microsoft bug and they should fix it ASAP instead of giving us stupid workarounds.

    Still not working. I believe this one failed update is now preventing me from getting others as well.
