Windows update error x80070002

Hi. My windows update is trying to download an update it installed 10 days ago.

2026-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 22H2 for 64x-based systems (KB5075912)

error x80070002.

Something I'm not sure is related has also got me worried.

I checked the Devices and Printers page at the control panel window. And on my PC it says driver error. When I try to troubleshoot I get the error 0x8000FFFF.

What I have tried: I used the windows update troubleshooter. It asked me to reboot the PC. Then I had the "preparing windows, please wait" on my screen for about 2 hours.

I did the sfc and dism scan and image clean.

The commands to shut down and start up windows update. Wauserv, cryptSvc, bits, msiserver.

Reset the Microsoft store cashe.

I used safe boot. Tried the same things again.

I couldn't try the uninstall update one because it would not let me uninstall any of them. Just 2 Microsoft visual c+++ updates from 2021.

I did the chkdsk scan and /f for repair. Rebooted the PC.

Deleted the temp files.

Disabling third party software was when I did the safe boot.

Renamed the Softwaredistribution folder to .old

Renamed the system32/catroot2 to .old

Checked the date and time.

I checked the registry for flight? Something. Can't remember. Couldn't find where I read about it. They weren't there though.

The things I haven't tried are changing the DNS network settings because I was afraid of making things worse. And I didn't reinstall windows. Which for me is a last resort.

If anyone has any suggestions on what else to try that doesn't involve a clean install. I'm all ears.

Thank you.
