Your welcome. Not sure why MS would not post this instead of having many users hunting endless threads to try and find a resolve! Took me several months to find this on my own! I hope others see this and try it to resolve there issue.

2020-01-28T21:56:18+00:00 I used Windows 10 Update Assistant and after a very lengthy download and install it updated me to the latest version of Windows 10 and everything is all good! No more updates are pending!

Why MS just fix the bug and send new up date.
It is not first time that they issue a faulty update.
Best regards,

2020-01-27T22:44:24+00:00 I can't recall where I read this, but an installation specialist named Greg, who said he is a "10 year Windows MVP and Volunteer Moderator", posted several possible solutions. Below is #3 in his list of suggestions that worked for me. Thanks, Greg!
----Try manually resetting Windows Update Service:
Open administrative Command Prompt and type following commands one-by-one, followed by Enter key.
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
Close Command Prompt and see if Windows Updates works.
