I have been struggling with this issue for well over a month, It first started with the "2018-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4090913)". Now its update Tuesday and this months cumulative update (KB4088776) is doing the exact same thing.

I have tried all 5 of the steps provided by microsofts here:                            (More than once)

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/910336/windows-update-error-0x80070002-or-0x80070003

Finally, I have done a clean install of windows 10 three times now in the past couple of weeks, to no prevail. 

After each fresh install. the exact same issue.

I am running Windows 10 Pro Education, Version 1709, build 16299.15.

After each install it seems to update no problem, but seems to only be an issue once I reactivate my Windows 10 Pro Activation key.

I gave up weeks ago, and was hoping my problem would simply be solved by the latest update, but that is not the case.

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I believe it was not the problems we got. We tried to install the new update, and the PC asked to restart to install. But after restarting, it said install was failed. I had this problem from last month, and it still happens now. I really don't want to turn off update service but it still ask me to restart the computer many times and Microsoft couldn't help us to fix it!!! I was helped by an agent, he/she controlled my computer to fix it, but it was not help me fix it. I'm not sure if my computer misses any program that helps the new update can be installed.

    I recorder it:

    https://youtu.be/-QyEtX1Kgac

    It has been doing this issue since the last week. It does this all the time I shut down the computer, because I can only choose the 'Update and shut down', it takes about 5-10 minutes to start system computer it restarts itself all the time because of the 'We're doing some changes'.

    I tried turning off the firewall and disabling Avast (anti virus software), but they did not help.

    Please help me somehow, because it is really disturbing.
