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've been seeing this since the feb. update aswell. (home edition)

    I see two lines of text, one says "succeeded" the other will say "failed" with error code : 0x80240034 , usually with 1 day in between. (in the update history)

    If i check the buildinfo however, its the correct version.

    If i ask if there are updates, it says its fully uptodate, even though prior to clicking the "search for updates" button, there is or was a text saying there is an update being prepared but couldnt install and will try again later or somesuch, that text goes away after i click the button and shows there are no updates.

    If i check the eventviewer, i noticed it had issues with installing some random kb's apparantly like for 1 random example : C:\WINDOWS\system32\wusa.exe" Windows8-RT-KB4019990-x64.msu /quiet /promptrestart (also i have no idea for what this is, seems like server related stuff, i dont have a server)

    Yet if i check for updates, there are none.

    The latest KB (kb4089848), does the same thing, but eventviewer mentions no issues with it. (under setup)

    I dont know what MS is doing, but they're becoming sloppy.

    As a home user i cant postpone updates.. yet im being forced to take shoddy patches and essentially i've become a beta tester for windows 10.

    Now looking at this thread, with 1428 people having the same damn question.. wtf is MS doing? And should we start a class action lawsuit?

    Wake up MS..

    Yes agree, the main problem is microsoft brought out an unfinished operating system, full of bugs, which is why i have two operating systems installed, windows 7 and 10, and on my tablet/laptop i stuck with windows 8, to be honest windows 10 is rubbish, and a spywarre so i just use it to see if they fixed anymore bugs alon lines with this ugly UI, which windows 7 beats hands down on.

    I have tried all combinations for the update including SC xxxxx = start= auto (that did work)

    used from MS Update Catalog 2018-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4089848) but at the end of it all it said "We couldn't complete the update" and the says "removing update" and some more reboots - I have Win-10 PRO

    How is this going to impact Windows 10 Redstone 4?

    It will not install RedStone 4 because Cumulative Update 2018-4 was not updated?

    Or RedStone 4 will supersede Cumulative Update anyway?
