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 looked again and I didn't use an usb or anything else! Only tth updates are installii!

    If you're woriewo abaua something else in your OS, don't! In my computer is everything at his place!

    Im not a tech on Windows or computer! For me this .... "thing"... worked! 

    Give it a try like I did. Eventually you will reinstall Windows.... First try my way!

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

    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!

    I am having the same problem.  My operating system specifications are:

    Edition: Windows 10 Pro

    Version: 1709

    OS Build: 16299.248

    My machine is ASUS 6GB

    I had 18 failures after trying to install Kb4088776. Microsoft recommended uninstalling Kb4056892 but this correction was not on my machine.

    My machine became very slow and I was unable to open any Microsoft products. I corrected it by running:

    Malwarebytes premium and then CHKDSK C: /R /F /V

    I have turned off any further update of kb4088776 by turning on "Pause" for update. This should prevent any further attempts for downloading and intalling KB4088776 for the next 35 days.

    My machine is running fine again.
