Update reverting with error 0x8007007e; SFCFix found no corruptions

[HapaxOromenon]

Hello, After much time away, I have to come back here again. This time the issue is with my brother's machine - he tells me it's got into a loop of updates being installed and then reverting on restart. The Windows Update GUI indeed shows that KB5000802 has failed to install a number of times, with errors 0x80070002 and 0x8007007e. I ran SFCFix and it found no corruptions, so I attach its log as well as the CBS folder. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Apologies for the delay, however, the Windows Update team receive a large number of threads on a frequent basis and the team is only small. The pandemic has also meant that many members of the team, may be busier than usual with their day jobs and thus has meant responses may be longer than usual.
