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.

    Without knowing what kind of phone you have it is going to be difficult for anyone to advise you.

    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.

    Yes, You'll want to stop doing that.

    Go to the Microsoft Update Catalog

    Enter the KB number for the Update that you are experiencing problems with (make sure Avast is turned off) in your case that would be the March Cumulative Update KB4088776

    Download the version that is right for your device to your desktop.

    In other words click the "Download Button on the right of YOUR version.

    This example is the 64 Bit version (which is what I use):

    Click the blue text ending in .msu above

    Now click the UP arrow next to the word "save"

    and select "Save AS"

    Then save it to your desktop in the usual way

    When the download is finished double-click the stand alone installer (the file you just put on your desktop) and run it.

    Once it is installed you can turn Avast back on.
