Windows Update completely broken

[dahmuno]

I'm at a loss here.. I've tried everything I can find, but maybe someone here had the same issue and fixed it..
My windows update has been broken for around 6 months.
I've tried everything from the specific troubleshooters to repairing the windows install image.
Troubleshooting told me it was an issue with the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), once.
I'll attach a screenshot of the error it shows.

I truly appreciate any help

I had already tried every.. single.. option for fixing my broken Windows Update before posting here, as I stated in the original post..
Even 3rd party tools like the "Windows Update reset tool" (a command prompt based tool which performs every possible solution for you) couldn't fix the issue.. I tried it yesterday, which led to learning about the 22h2 update even existing.

I just manually updated to 22h2 Win10, and I'm happy to report this 100% fixed my Windows Update when nothing else could (beside possibly a full reinstall).
Hopefully this can help someone else who's stuck with broken Windows Update! They'll need to be on an earlier version of Windows - 21h2, 20h2, etc..
