    It looks like you're running into an issue with a Windows 10 update error code 0x8007066a. This error can occur due to a number of reasons, such as a conflicting software, a problem with the update files, or an issue with the Windows update service.

    Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try to fix this issue:

    Moreover, if the above steps didn't work for you, try fixing the issue using CMD (steps below):

    Try resetting Windows update components by following these steps:

    Open Command prompt as Administrator

    Run the following commands:
    net stop wuauserv
    net stop cryptsvc
    net stop bits
    net stop msiserver
    ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
    ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old
    net start wuauserv
    net start cryptsvc
    net start bits
    net start msiserver

    If none of the above steps work, you may need to perform a clean boot of your computer. This can help to resolve any issues that may be caused by conflicting software or drivers.

    If it still didn't help, please share more information about your computer (Hardware, running software, etc) and we can help you with other troubleshooting steps.
