Windows 10: Ongoing windows update error 0x800f0805

Hi,Windows update has been having trouble for a few months now since November 2020!, and I'd expected it to resolve itself at some point but it has not. I've tried many troubleshooting steps with no effect. I've already tried: - Running the windows update troubleshooter which can never finish it's job, it always stalls at checking for an unfinished restart or something- Using the DISM tool- Running SFC scan- Resetting windows update components via the services.msc window, and also using the series of commands in step 4 of this article: https://www.howtoedge.com/fix-update-error-0x800f0805-
