Fixing Windows Update Error Code 8007370D
Windows Update error 8007370D appears when the update process encounters missing or corrupted files in the Windows Component Store—often caused by interrupted updates, system file damage, or conflicting software. This stops essential patches from installing and can leave your system vulnerable. To resolve it, restart your PC and start with the Windows Update Troubleshooter: go to Settings → Update & Security → Troubleshoot → Additional troubleshooters → Windows Update. Next, clear the update cache by stopping the Windows Update, BITS, and Cryptographic Services, then deleting all contents of the C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution and C:WindowsSystem32catroot2 folders; afterward, restart those services. Then, open an elevated Command Prompt and run:

sfc /scannow  

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

This repairs system files and restores the Windows image. If issues persist, use:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth  

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth  

to verify component store integrity, and repeat /RestoreHealth if needed. Finally, reboot your system and run Windows Update again. These steps typically fix error 8007370D and allow updates to proceed. For a complete, step-by-step walkthrough with advanced tips, see this comprehensive guide.
