Windows 10: Trying to fix a big Windows Update issue, but DISM won't progress past Image Version stage

So my computer is missing the Windows Update tab in the Services page. Windows Update is unable to check for updates (threw an error message) and the troubleshoot isn't working either. For some background, a couple months back we detected malware on my computer and successfully deleted it (using HitManPro + Kaspersky) and I haven't faced any problems since then. But Windows Update isn't working right. Sites online are saying it's because of corrupted files so I'm trying to fix that.

The problem is DISM won't move past the Image Version stage. It's just stuck. I've no idea how to progress. Should I try and reset my OS completely? Please understand I'm a tech noob. I have no tech experience at all and I cannot go to a computer store because my city is in a 100% lockdown due to the coronavirus.

Please help. Lol thanks in advance

Windows 10 fails to update


Thanks,

The Users list compared to the Profile list you posted earlier tell me there is not an issue with Users (a known issue where there is a profile in the list, but not actual User folder).

The error code suggests corruption in the CBS manifest:
Try these steps one at time until the issue is resolved or you run out of steps.

My DISM image got corrupted somehow after these updates, although sfc /scannow doesnt find anything, so its ok..

Spoiler Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031

Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031

[==========================100.0%==========================]
The restore operation failed. Either the repair source was not found or the comp
onent store cannot be repaired.

Error: 0x800f081f

DISM failed. No operation was performed.
For more information, review the log file.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log
Windows update works properly too, quick googling showed its windows update specific.

Guess I'll ignore until windows actually updates to update1, maybe it will fix itself then since it apparently fetches online DISM image info?
