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.

    To JohnHorton556:

    Have you tried running the SC command per PaulSey's post? 

    Please read an earlier post from me in this thread on March 14 which links to PaulSey's post.

    Good luck.

    I have similar issue, I have tried everything I know to do and even followed suggestions on this forum to no avail. Does anyone know how to resolve this, it has become a nuisance.

    hello,

    I am facing the same problem but the solution as I think is pretty easier, int the windows update that will show to you this update failed, what you should do only press on that update, then Microsoft update website will open automatically, then go the bottom on this site you will find ' Microsoft Update Catalog' press on it, then a new page will open contains a full list of update , press the update that failed to install, then it will  be downloaded, then go and install it. the problem is solved as I hope

    I have the same question.....KB4088776 will not update after more than a dozen restarts and running the Windows Update Troubleshooter about a dozen times also.
