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 had the same issue, update would download, attempt install, fail download and loop.

    solution was to manually download the 700+ mb update and install. reboot, open settings updates, and it will say it needs to reboot.

    so reboot again and everything was installed.

    You can find the update here:

    edit. i guess anyone else should check if you have version 1709 installed by typing 'system information' in start, open up its the second from top.

    edit 2. oh my, although its solved now i should have checked error reporting before. it is fully spammed.

    Since february 19th till the 14 of march it has generated the following statements 432 times per day!

    That is almost 1 month of a wasted logical processor.

    I cant install the updates manually, it begins installation and than says "The update is not applicable on your computer".

    There is some major issues here that have been going on with each of my cumulative updates since January.

    like I said, I have tried every troubleshooting step I could find posted online, and nothing has worked.

    Not sure if you have tried what Aileen Alf recommended in this thread regarding deleting files in software distribution folder, but it looks like it helped original poster and does no harm. Link is:

    I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit version 1709 build 6299.251. This update has failed two times by Windows Update and I have manually downloaded it and ran it with the standalone installer only to fail again. It applies it, reboots, says it cannot apply the update and reboots again backing out. That's on windows10.0-kb4088776-x64 on an HP 6300 Pro PC.

    Yep tried this, didn't work. I appreciate the help anyways. 

    I finally got my problem resolved earlier today by speaking with a Microsoft technician and having them remote in. He tried everything, but he eventually downloaded a windows 10 pro 1709 iso and installed it. 

    No everything is working fine. And I have all my updates.

    Something was going wrong with me reinstalling my OS to windows 10 home, than using my pro activation key to upgrade.
