Windows Update Error 0x8007370D commonly occurs when Windows is unable to install updates due to corruption in the Component Store (WinSxS) or missing/corrupted servicing files. This issue can prevent your system from downloading or applying updates properly.

To fix this error, follow these steps:

  1. Repair system files
    Open Command Prompt as administrator and run:

    bash
    sfc /scannow DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    This repairs corrupted system files and restores Windows Update dependencies.

  2. Reset Windows Update cache
    In the same Command Prompt, enter:

    pgsql
    net stop wuauserv net stop bits ren C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:WindowsSystem32catroot2 catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start bits

    Renaming these directories forces Windows to rebuild its update cache.

  3. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter
    Go to Settings → Update & Security → Troubleshoot, select Windows Update, and let the tool detect and fix update issues automatically.

  4. Manually install problem updates
    If the error persists, check the update history to locate the failed update, then download and install it manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

  5. Use in-place repair install (optional)
    As a last resort, download the Windows ISO from Microsoft and run setup while keeping your files to repair core components without a full reinstall.
