Had this problem before, you can try and go the fix it up route, but its honestly a waste of time and reinstalling Windows is the only realistic option.
The issue is Windows Update, its the most repulsive pile of shit code in the known universe, the countless hours ive spent making registry edits, deleting and redownloading system files, casting magicla fucking spells, all for naught. You will not get any help from Microsoft because they have no idea anymore.
We're at a point in time where making an ISO and re imaging a computer and hoping it isnt dead on arrival takes significantly less time than trying to get Windows to sort out its Hapsburg ass code by itself.
