How to troubleshoot error 0X80070314
Use these Windows-native steps in order. Stop when Windows Update works again; advanced repair commands are not necessary on every PC.
Windows Update
Retry the failed update after restarting

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealthsfc /scannowRestart Windows, then check for updatesRepair Windows components when indicated
If troubleshooting still reports missing or damaged components, open Terminal as administrator, run DISM RestoreHealth, and then run System File Checker. Do not interrupt either scan.
Before advanced repair: Back up important files. Managed work or school PCs may use organization update policies, so contact the administrator before changing services or update components.
