Windows 10: windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Error code 0x80070005-0x4002F.

Hi, I believe I got a windows update and my windows defender would not open. My documents would open in task menu but would not open. I used SFC/DISM all scans found no issue. I scanned for viruses, no issue found.I tried to fix windows it said it could not fix it. I reformatted the ssd and tried to install windows 11 but received error above. I used a different ssd, still received same issue. I don't know if I tried using my windows key to many times or what, just don't know why I'm getting error. My ssd is blank as I formatted it to do clean install to attempt to fix issue. What can
