Problem was fixed with kb5001391.
W.U. from 19043.899 to 19043.962 worked fine without any of the previous errors.
Hmmm...
Still on build 19041.899
WU failed "as usual": Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0984: Feature update to Windows 10, version 21H1.
Maybe it takes some time to for the updated update to propagate to my system...
Will wait some more to see how this goes... -

2021-04-18T17:26:59+00:00 Hi Johnny,
Yes you are right, a similar problem recently with out of band update kb5001649 that was failing with W.U, going from 19042.868 to 19042.870 with error-0x80070541.
But in that case MS released a new update a couple of days later that worked fine with W.U.
Also that one was working fine with the .msu from the catalog, but too many users downloaded the wrong version. :-)
Regards,
F.G.

Looks like it is not finishing the installation with the .msu either.
Also trying to install the .cab ends up with the same error0x800f0984. The only way that worked for me from .899 was Update in Place with ISO.
I think you may have misunderstood, yes you are correct using the msu file does not work until you do the in-place upgrade first.
There are many ways around this, with the common denominator being you have to get the device off of .899 before anything takes.
Perhaps your memory better than mine, but did we not go through this about a month or two ago with another "C" or "D" update as well, just don't recall the numbers. Not into digging through this forum to find it.
Welcome to the Insider program, this is what it is all about. MS may have fixed the update issue, but not from the faulty update once installed. You need to do an in-place upgrade via ISO. You retain all data.
