Windows 10 Update error 0x80080005 and troubleshoot stuck at checking for pending restart

Hello! I've been having an issue with my Windows 10 Home. When I check for updates I get the 0x80080005 error. I've looked all over the internet for a fix, but nothing really worked. Troubleshooting leads to the troubleshoot getting stuck at "Checking for
Pending Restart" and using Command Prompt does absolutely nothing. I also used TweakBit's PCRepair and Avast's Cleanup Premium and they both are claiming there is nothing wrong with my PC.

I discovered the issue when I tried installing Net Framework 3.5 and Windows Features got stuck at "downloading required files". I actually have to use Task Manager to turn off Windows Features at the point as "cancel" does nothing. So that doesn't work
either and I feel as if these problems are connected.

I would be really grateful for any assistances with this matter. If there is any other info I should provide, let me know.
