Windows 10 home, new computer with CPU Intel 8700K working well, version 1709 installed.
I noticed that windows update gives error 0x80070bc2 when trying to install 2017-11 Cumulative update for Windows Version 1709 for amd64-based systems KB4048955 (and before KB4043961) ... getting a sort of a loop as it requires a restart to finish installing but at any restart gives the same message and does not install.
Tried various things such as sfc scan, dism, troubleshooting windows update, manual install etc. Nothing works. Other updates such as KB4048951 and KB4051613 installed correctly in the last few days. Can someone help?

This seems to have worked for me:
SC config wuauserv start= auto
SC config bits start= auto
SC config cryptsvc start= auto
SC config trustedinstaller start= auto
@swansojb Apparently my problem is/was a little different. The Computer which was "hanging" on updates I was dealing with "hung" on a pair of updates. The 1st one was the one released prior to the one that prompts this thread. Both updates, no matter what process I went through, including all of your recommendations, was able to get a "completed install" on my system. It is an "ancient" Acer Z3731-UR21P manufactured very shortly after Windows 7 (X64) was released. It has an Intel dual-core Pentium E6700 and 4gb of RAM and an Intel Graphics chipset that uses an area in that RAM.
I ended up "chatting" with Microsoft Support and got a tech to link to me to check things out. He ended up trashing a huge volume of "Log" files that had accumulated on the 1TB disk I had spinning. He also performed the same rituals I had already tried twice. In his final swath through the machine after he convinced himself that Microsoft Update on this machine had something "weird" going on, he disabled the history of updates on the machine, so my Check for Updates screen no longer displays any entries. The system spec screen shows 1709 with 1629.125 as the version.
The available downloadable installers, at least in my case, did not "cure" the symptoms, but hopefully a subsequent release will bring back the update history and proceed onward. It was "current" as of about 1/24/2018. The original install / reboot sequence was "working" by the updates apparently in my case "did not register" at the end of the reboot cycle in a way that the module that does the updating could see that the update was there! I used a .DLL described in this thread from the console to pull a list of the installed updates and even though the display in "Settings" does not show them, THEY ARE ON THE SYSTEM
I couldn't agree more, Brian..............it's the Microsoft chasing of the mighty 'lucre'............it's the American way........don't ya' know?
welcome to windows 10..... I can't say that i'm impressed. I sure miss my windows XP.
Yes Tenisoy............I regret to advise you that this is so typical of Microsoft (I've had to use them since they launched.....but purely by need rather than actual 'want')............they do not give a damn about the absolute avalanche of complaints about this specific problem from millions of Windows 10 users
and I do not see them posting an update 'fix' for this in the short or medium term.........never mind, they've gotcha......and ,more importantly......your money!!
