    Win+X -> Command prompt (Admin) -> Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    if result not equal 100% then run

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    then check system files with command

    sfc /scannow

    and then try step by step this commands

    net stop wuauserv

    There is no Dism folder on my computer.

    Dism is not a folder, it's a command ;-)

    Somehow, between enabling Hyper-V and doing the above steps, the update finally installed.  (yay!)  Note: It took some time for the final step to complete when it was checking for updates.  I guess it was rebuilding the Software Distribution folder.

    ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution sdold123 

    At this point I get an "Access denied" error message, although I'm using the command window as admin.
