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 have the same problem and really don't understand why MS haven't done anything to respond to this string!

    Select Download to the right of first file offered.

     Click the blue highlighted text as shown here.

    THEN

    Right click the arrow next to the "Save" option and choose "Save as" as shown here:

    And save it to your Desktop.  Then double click the Strand Alone Installer to run it once it has fully downloaded.

    The strange but good thing is that the later update KB4089848 solved my earlier problem with KB4088776 failing to install multiple times, over and over again. I could not get this update to install.

    I was pleasantly surprised to see that KB4088776 was also applied after the last update.

    My system rebooted twice after applying KB4089848. Maybe KB4088776 was still cached in Windows? I do not know.

    This has solved the problem in my case.
