Solved Error 0x80070422

[Sonicstefan1991]

I have a Windows 10 Home 64-bit AiO desktop.
I was trying to install iTunes from the Microsoft Store. There was an error when installing it, so I clicked to see the details and it said about an error 0x80070422 and that I need to run Windows Update to automatic. So, to check, I went onto my Windows Update on the settings, I clicked on updates, but it kept on saying “retry”. I did try troubleshooting, but it said that it couldn’t find any problems.

So, I went onto “services.msc” and went onto “WindowsUpdate”, right-clicked on “properties”, I selected “automatic”, then clicked “apply”, then “OK”. Then I went and clicked “start” to start the service, but there was no “start”or “restart” after I did that, so I refreshed and then the “WindowsUpdate” has gone back to disabled.

What can I do?

Type in "sfc /scannow". let it run to see if it finds / repairs anything.

Then try "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth"

Also, can you confirm what build version you have by typing winver in the search bar for Windows and press enter. You should see a box like this:

ERROR_SERVICE_DISABLED
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

so I refreshed and then the “WindowsUpdate” has gone back to disabled

Is this any good?

I'm sorry to bother you but I'm not able to read contents of a zipped file for some reason, just in case I tested my own steps and it went fine, it could be you did something wrong.

Please delete pslogs zip and pslogs folder in C drive manually and re-run my code above and share new zip file.

It may help to also share logs from DISM and SFC..
