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.

    Hi Linda,

    just open Command Prompt (running as administrator) and type each of those 4 commands exactly as Philippe wrote them.

    Then run Windows Update. 

    Do I open Command Prompt or Elevated Command Prompt?  What's the difference? 

    This thing is getting too confusing.  Do I type the whole thing exactly like this? What does SC mean and do I type the "start = auto"?

    SC config wuauserv start= auto

    SC config bits start= auto

    SC config cryptsvc start= auto

    SC config trustedinstaller start= auto

    My access was denied....now what?

    You have to run command prompt as an administrator. Just right click on command prompt and click "Run as Administrator". Then, one line at a time, you write out exactly what you see above (including spaces) and hit enter. 

    So for example, line one is: SC config wuauserv start= auto (then click enter)

    Once all four commands have been entered, you should be able to complete the update with Windows Update. It worked for me anyway. Good luck!

    It still didn't work.  I am closing the CMD prompt window after everything is typed in....is that what I am supposed to do?  After closing the CMD prompt window, I do the Windows Update.
