Windows Update Not Working (error 0x800700c1)

[InvisPlatinum]

Hi Everyone,

I need help with a Windows Update issue - error code 0x800700c1. My PC is running version 20H2 and OS build 19042.1110.

I have looked on the internet and tried multiple things but nothing seems to work. This forum seems like the only place where this issue has been fixed. Hoping someone can help me so that I don't have to perform a fresh install and reset my PC.

I have attatched everything as required by the Windows Update Forum Posting Instructions below.

Thanks

SFC Scan:

This doesn't run.

C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow

Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.

DISM:

This also doesn't run and gives the following output. I've attatched the log below.

C:\Windows\system32>Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
