    Run DISM tool

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is used to repair and prepare Windows images, including the Windows Recovery Environment, Windows Setup, and Windows PE. To run a DISM scan, open Command Prompt as administrator by typing “command prompt” in Search and right-click the “Command Prompt” result. Then select the “Run as administrator” option from the contextual menu.

    In Command Prompt, type the “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth” command and press Enter. This command should be able to repair corrupted Windows Update Files.
