Windows 10: Error 0x80073701 with 2021-12 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based...

Hi I have a Lenovo Ideapad 330S and using Windows 10 Home Single Language. The automatic update for "2021-12 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems KB5008212" is repeatedly failing with following message"There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: 0x80073701 "I tried the help available on other thread to run SFC and DISM tool. But still facing the same error. Any thoughts or ideas that can help resolve the error?

:)
