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.

    i did mine the other way, by standalone installer and upgrade because i turned my updates off by group policy, but must admit, forgot about that cheers Ron989

    Hi Linda its come up now, ye to your previous comment, it sounds like an update did not properly install or corrupted i noticed a problem with microsoft network link, what i would do is run https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Reset-Windows-Update-Agent-d824badc this script first, unzip, and it will be a .bat file, right click it a list will come up and run as an administrator, then a cmd, black box will come up and reset the windows update agent, once done go into cortana, type cmd, it should show up in the list, again right click and run as administrator, in the cmd prompt type sfc /scannow (exactly) then it will do a file scan and fix errors, once done restart pc/laptop. then retry doing the updates again until this one fails to download, thats what happened with me, exactly as you described then retry the standalone installation again https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4088776, if fails again manually upgrade windows via media creation tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10, then after it finishes then redo the manual installation, i found my problem to be is that it wouldn't download, hope this helps let us know how you get on, good luck😊
