Windows Update error 0x8007370B means the system can’t retrieve or validate a required update file

Windows Update error 0x8007370B means the system can’t retrieve or validate a required update file—often due to a mismatched or missing file in the Windows Component Store. This blocks the update process and may point to issues with system files or catalog data.

To fix it: run the Windows Update Troubleshooter (Settings → Update & Security → Troubleshoot → Windows Update); open Command Prompt as administrator and execute DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth followed by sfc /scannow to repair system file integrity; then reset the update cache by stopping the Windows Update services (net stop wuauserv and net stop bits), renaming the SoftwareDistribution and catroot2 folders, restarting the services, rebooting, and retrying Windows Update. If issues persist, create a clean local administrator account and attempt the update from that profile.
