Windows 10: [help] Cannot install updates because of error 0x80073701

i have already ran BOTH DISM and SFC commands from the command prompt. Neither are reporting an issue.

But every time i try updating i get the same error. It downloads 100%, it says it installs 100%, but then changes to the error screen and suggests trying again later.

Windows 10 Home 64 bit Version 2004

OS build 19041.630

Windows update error 0x80073701 and .Net Framework broken

When you do what?

Repair install or Windows Update?

If it's Windows Update, run the script that @Caledon Ken suggested in post #12

KB4586781 won't install error 0x80073701

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. I ran the troubleshooter and it said it couldn't find any problems. But then I noticed there was an arrow for details and got this:



I stopped here because I have no idea what the BITS Service is and wanted to find out before I started messing with it. I don't understand where I'm supposed to type "NETHELPMSG 2182" If you could explain and tell me how to proceed from here, would be much appreciated.

Also should note that for at least two years the first line on Windows Update Screen is in red and says "Some settings are managed by your organization". I am my organization. Here are the settings just in case they are now causing problems?



Thanks a lot.
