KB4493509 fails to install

Hello everyone,

this is the first update since upgrade to 1809 that fails to install. I tried everything. Manual downloading, but even manual installing at the end just shows message, that the update couldn't be installed, without any errors. At Windows Update, it's shown an error 0x800f0982. I've done sfc /scannow, no corrupted files. I've done Restorehealth etc, and the error is still there. This is the first time that has happened to me. So should I wait for next update? Or what to do?

    (1) In case things get worse - now or when 1903 arrives - make a Windows system image backup. I finally had to restore one, & it went quick & well with hardly a decision to make (on my small & simple system)…

    Restore Point with External Drives

    (2) I like Douglas's suggestion. Because you & the site are both 1809, it amounts to an over-install of 1809. You get new system files, but 3rd-party apps & user files remain untouched. This is usually the next step  after DISM & SFC failed to be a fix.

    (3) Well, did you see what it said about the Servicing Stack in here...?...

    You can check whether you've got the right one at "START, Settings, Apps, Programs & Features, View installed updates"...

    Remove CCleaner and never use it again!

    I mean.. this is really ridiculous. I think I will wait for 1903 upgrade, but good for you that that worked actually.

    Yes, I think like you but that was the only solution that I was able to find on the web. At least my pc is now up-to-date :)

    This process takes 2 hours but it effective.

    But I want to update KB4493509, not upgrade the whole windows 10, if I think what that link is talking about?
