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.

    would be nice to see a solution that does not involve reinstalling the entire operating system.

    You miss understood! That was my intention, but I've seen that option that lets you upgrade the sistem without loosing any data.....

    Follow the steps.... I didn't loos anything! and the system was UPDATED.

    I repeat: I DIDN'T REINSTALED WINDOWS!

    I just did an update of the sistem with the help of  "media creation tool"

    That is all!

    My Microsoft products stopped working again so I was forced to reinstall Windows 10 Pro. KB4088776 is now successfully installed.
