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 for your feedback! Surprisingly, the problem on my computer is not solved even with DISM and SFC. But, a similar computer is installed next to it, with the same set of programs, and everything works there! Amazing Miсrо soft, you show tricks! :-)

    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 troubleshootingto 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.
