Error code 0x8007000d means that there is a file that is needed by Windows Update, but that file is either damaged or missing. This won’t let you install any updates for Windows or any drivers, and it also won’t let you upgrade Windows 10 in case a newer version is available. Another potential cause may also be broken drivers as well.

You will see this error when you try to run Windows Update from your device, and anything you try to download in that way will undoubtedly fail. This is quite frustrating, as Microsoft’s idea with Windows 10 was to offer Windows as a service with continuous updates, so breaking this function leads to missing out on a lot of functionality, as well as a lot of security updates which Microsoft delivers every now and then.
