Here's how to Fix Windows update error 0x8007041d.

Windows update error 0x8007041d occurs when the system is unable to access the update server or when there is an issue with the system's network configuration. Here are some steps you can follow to fix this error:

1. Check your network connection: Make sure that your system is connected to a stable network connection, and check if there are any issues with your network configuration or settings.

2. Disable your antivirus: Sometimes, your antivirus program may be interfering with the update process. Try disabling your antivirus temporarily and check if the update goes through.

3. Restart your system: Restart your system and try running the update process again.

4. Run Windows Update troubleshooter: Windows has a built-in troubleshooter that can help diagnose and fix update-related issues. Go to Settings - Update & Security - Troubleshoot - Windows Update and run the troubleshooter.

5. Manually clear the Windows Update cache: The Windows Update cache can sometimes become corrupted and cause issues with the update process. To clear the cache, open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type in the following commands:

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

6. Perform a clean boot: A clean boot can help isolate the issue and identify if any third-party programs are causing the issue. To perform a clean boot, follow the steps outlined in this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135.
