Happy New Year everyone ! Good messages to start the year with !
Thanks to the amazing People at https://www.deskmodder.de ,
i was able to brake the "Update failure with 0x8007000d" ban....
I will post the link to the relevant page in two forms:
1st the original german link:
https://www.deskmodder.de/wiki/index.php?title=Inplace_Upgrade_Windows_10_schnell_reparieren
and 2nd for your convenience ;-) the same fed through google translator:

What i did was basically an Inplace Upgrade Repair.
-First get again the most recent version of the "Media Creation Tool".
-Download an installation ISO with it.
-Rightclick ISO and make it available as virtual disk.
In the procedure make sure you checkmark the options to keep your apps AND your data !!!!!!!
OH WAIT YOU CANT BECAUSE ITS GRAYED OUT ?
Now sure enough my Windows Version was in that unlucky range.............................,
where inplace upgrade got disabled through a versioning mistake by microsoft !!!
(btw a deeper insight might find out that something related to that versioning mistake is the actual reason for the whole mess..just thinkin..)
this is where the deskmodders or even more the Scripters "Enthusiast" and "BAU" come to the rescue !!!!

i ended up using the commandline batchfile provided by BAU:
https://t1p.de/prtx
- that zip file contains a batch file. just rightclick it and execute it as administrator.
- once that says: "Inplace Upgrade will now work" hit any Key and do a reboot after that.
- Back to the desktop, make that windows iso available again, start the windows installation and...
W O W !!! VOILA !!! keep my apps and files is already checkmarked !! SCRIPTMAGIC !!
well the rest of the story is short.
The installation takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME
specially if you are on a physical hd still.... i use a SSD but still it took a lot time...
i mention this, because:
if your machine appears to be frozen....
DONT touch it.... watch the hd LED at your case its workin its chips off...
then after all.... it worked !!!! i am back to a functioning version 19042.685 !! all faulty updates gone, regular updates workin !!
Happy New Year !!!
