Error 0x8007000d is one of the upgrade errors you may encounter during the upgrade to Windows 10. The error may also appear while trying to activate the operating system. The error prevents using the new OS and may drive users mad, given that it emerges out of blue and seems to be unavoidable. Still, there are techniques to repair error 0x8007000d, which we present listed below.
Causes of the Error 0x8007000d
Update error 0x8007000d may appear due to various reasons. Though the error message doesn’t provide many details about reasons of error grounds, it is likely among the following. If you see the error being unable to install Windows 10, then probably the files needed for the upgrade cannot be reached. Another reason for the error can be the issues with Component Based Servicing manifest.
Method 1: Reset Your Computer
One of the simplest ways to fix the error 0x8007000d is resetting your computer.
Sometimes, the missing or damaged files may be extensive enough that you need to restore your computer to an earlier point. If you create routine back-ups of your information or have a previous version of the software that you can install, this can help you to deal with the issue. Otherwise, you may have to restore your device to its factory settings to resolve the error.
Always ensure to backup your important files and information before you perform a reset of your device, in order to make sure that you are able to return the computer to its initial state when you have finished.
Method 2: Use System File Checker
1. Input cmd in the search bar
2. Right-click the result and select Run as administrator
3. Type the following commands and hit Enter after each line:
WSReset.exe
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup
sfc /scannow
powershell
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage}4. Restart the computer to see if this fix worked.
Method 3: Try ASP.NET
In some cases, the problem occurs because the ApplicationHost.config file or the Web.config file contains a malformed XML element. To fix this you will have to delete the malformed XML element from the ApplicationHost.config file or from the Web.config file.
However, the web.config that I used is working perfectly in the original development environment.
This is how it is supposed to be done:
1. Install ASP.NET by calling aspnet_regiis -i
2. Set my application to use different application pool (ASP.NET v4.0, .NET v4, etc)
3. ApplicationHost.config file is still using default from Windows 7.
Method 4: Clear the Software Distribution folder
1. Press Win+R
2. Type services.msc and hit Enter
3. Right-click the Windows Update Service and choose Stop
4. Go to the Windows\SoftwareDistribution directory and remove its contents
Alternatively, you may rename the folder to \Windows\SoftwareDistributionOld
5. Start the Windows Update Service
6. Try to update again.
Method 5: Manually reset the Windows Update components
1. Press Windows Key + X then select Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Type the following command into cmd and hit Enter after each one:

3. Delete the qmgr*.dat files, to do this again open cmd and type:
Del “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat”
4. Type the following into cmd and hit Enter:
cd/d %windir%\system32
5. Reregister the BITS files and the Windows Update files. Type each of the following commands individually in cmd and hit Enter after each one:
regsvr32.exe atl.dll regsvr32.exe urlmon.dll regsvr32.exe mshtml.dll regsvr32.exe shdocvw.dll regsvr32.exe browseui.dll regsvr32.exe jscript.dll regsvr32.exe vbscript.dll regsvr32.exe scrrun.dll regsvr32.exe msxml.dll regsvr32.exe msxml3.dll regsvr32.exe msxml6.dll regsvr32.exe actxprxy.dll regsvr32.exe softpub.dll regsvr32.exe wintrust.dll regsvr32.exe dssenh.dll regsvr32.exe rsaenh.dll regsvr32.exe gpkcsp.dll regsvr32.exe sccbase.dll regsvr32.exe slbcsp.dll regsvr32.exe cryptdlg.dll regsvr32.exe oleaut32.dll regsvr32.exe ole32.dll regsvr32.exe shell32.dll regsvr32.exe initpki.dll regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll regsvr32.exe wuaueng1.dll regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll regsvr32.exe wups.dll regsvr32.exe wups2.dll regsvr32.exe wuweb.dll regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll regsvr32.exe wucltux.dll regsvr32.exe muweb.dll regsvr32.exe wuwebv.dll
