I have tried most of the suggestions for resolving this error without result.

4 Ways to Fix Windows Update Error 0x80004002
Chkdsk says that I don’t need to scan the C: drive ( I have fairly recently done a full scan. It takes a long time and everything was fine, it is an SSD)
sfc /verifyonly run as an administrator returns with “Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.”
Trustedinstaller service is running. As is the Windows Modules Installer Service, antimalware programs are off. And I have also tried after booting into safemode.
Most worryingly, running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth from the administrator Power shell (and also the command window) results in the following:
“Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.19041.3636
Image Version: 10.0.19045.4412
The component store cannot be repaired.
The operation completed successfully.”
Indicating some file corruption. I have also gotten the 0x80004002 error here.
I tried downloading a new iso (appropriate to my windows version) and dism failed to run successfully with that as well.
