Windows Update is disabled and my access is denied even as an Administrator

When I entered Window Updates in Settings, I noticed "Error Encountered". I troubleshooted it multiple times and it didn't find any problem. After googling for a bit, I checked the services and it turned out that Windows Update was disabled. When I tried to enable it, my access was denied. When I tried to give permission to my user to access this (right click on Windows Update -> Properties -> Log On) my access was denied again. How can I enable Windows Update and how can my access be denied when I'm the administrator?

Thank you for the screenshot, your version of Windows is very much out of date, that version if from August 2022.

The best option to bring your Windows fully up to date and fix your updates process is to perform an in-place upgrade with the Windows 10 ISO.

Please follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO, not USB

When the ISO file completes downloading

Disconnect from the Internet

Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.
