The in-place repair should take several hours. With my 2TB SSD it take 3.5 hours.
Do you have a Windows.old folder or not after running the repair?

Good day,
I have attempted numerous times to install windows update 2021-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5004237) on my system. It fails regardless of the various command to shut down and restart services. The error code is: 0x80073712
When I went to the Windows Catalog, this version would not load. It said that it was not for my system. What is attempting to load is a different version of KB5004237, but that too failed.
Is there a way to fix or bypass this update?
Thank you

Sorry.

If you tried the in-place repair (which is different from a reset & will take several hours) then a clean install of Windows is required.
