Windows 10 Updates Keep Failing, Error 0x80070005

I've spent the last three evenings trying to update my windows 10 after I discovered that for months my Windows updates had been failing. I tried a lot of solutions on the internet but none seem to be working. My update installs fail at 8% via the Window
Update in the Settings and I get this error (I've also tried the downloadable updates and these fail too).:

2018-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4462937) - Error 0x80070005

Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803 x64 2019-06B - Error 0x80070005

I tried getting the Access log via this post's instructions but the txt file ends up empty.

I tried following the instructions in this post, but when I get to the part that deletes SoftwareDistribution, I get an "Access Denied" message
and the folder won't be deleted. Deleting the folder manually also doesn't fully work due to permissions issues.

The Windows Updater Troubleshooter runs and will tell me either 3 or 4 things were found and fixed each time I run it (Service Registration is missing or corrupt, Potential Windows Update Database error, Windows Update components must be repaired)...

I've followed
this post up to step 8 which is to perform a clean install of Windows 10.

Any other suggestions or a way to get around the Access Denied?
