    Hi,

    Have you even tried the in-place upgrade via ISO from the RP channel. This would take your system to 19043.867 just prior to the bug ridden update of .899 and then WU will update to 19043.928 or you could use the msu file from Microsoft Catalog.

    This has worked for myself and many others. You might be waiting forever for MS to get this right. This has all been explained thoroughly in many threads already. You have to get your device off of 19043.899 first for WU to work.

    Regards,

    Deactivated the Antivirus software and tried to install the New 2021-04 update ( KB5001330 ) , but once again the same  Error 0x800f0984 is displaying 

    MS - Kindly resolve this issue at your earliest.

    Hello Again,

    I don't know if I got remote help or not, but it updated today and I'm still showing OS Build 19043.899.

    Yesterday, I did the old fashioned chkdsk/r 

    This morning I still had the error for KB5001330, and I'm not sure if I did a retry or not, but the last time I saw it with the error 0800f0984, I went directly to a Restart.   

    From there it took like forever to restart.  I read  a little, took my walk, went to lunch and when I returned it was ready.

    I went to Update....and lo and behold my system says I'm "up-to-date",  most recent update KB50001330, completed successfully.

    I again thank you for everything

    Looks like MS may have fixed the Windows Update problem for this case.

    I will give it a try later to see it it now works....

    Thanks for letting me know.

    Just tried and still failed Windows Update.

    If you still show 19043.899 it means it did not update, it should be 19043.928 😉
