    Thanks, I don't have a flash drive big enough and live in Assisted Living, we are still Phase 1,  so I can't go shopping.  I might go online and do that later though.  

    I thank you for all your advice and help.  I'll just tag along and see what happens, the error, doesn't, as far as I know, affect my other PCing.  

    Thanks again.

    Hi Caroline,

    You can try with the installation ISO.  You can download either the insider ISO or the current 20H2 ISO that you can create with the Media Creation Tool 20H2. 

    I just tried it and that worked too, on the PC enrolled in Beta channel.  Updated from 21H1 19043.899 to 19042.928 using the ISO 19042.631 which is the latest available on the public Win 10 download site.

    Download the Media Creation Tool first and follow the instruction to create the windows.iso  (20H2 installation  ISO 19042.631).

    Once you have that, right click and mount it and then start the setup.exe.

    After you get to 19042.928 you can use Windows Update to get the enablement package and it gets you back to 21H1 19043.928.

    This link is for downloading current public windows 10:

    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 😉
