My laptop is running Windows 10 2004 OS build 19041.388 and windows update decides to automatically install cumulative update KB4566782 (build 19041.450). The installation will fail (0x800f081f) during updating Windows and Windows update automatically retry to install it until my laptop's battery dies.
How get out of this update loop?
update: We need a true solution, and please do not mark reinstalling windows 10 as an answer, dear moderators.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The Powershell stuff didn't work. As said earlier, the Windows Error Solver stops after asking what version of Windows one has. Is this something that Microsoft has stopped or if not, how does one make this work?
Also, can I update from the catalogue although it seems the problem isn't getting it but when it installs, it gets to 100% then shows the error. What do you think?
KB4566782 2020-08 Cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 2004 x64 failed to install generating Error Code: 0x800f081f. The Diagnostic Viewer reported an APPCRASH in Application: wuauclt.exe V. 10.0.19041.329 and the Fault Module was: ntdll.dll V. 10.0.19041.207. I performed an sfc / scannow and it did not find any corruption. I restarted the CPU and retried to reapply the patch with the same results.
Is it possible for Microsoft to address this issue. Thank you.

If you are experiencing issues in updating Windows, you may refer to the steps below:
First is you must disable any third-party antivirus that is currently running on your system.
You may try to reset the Windows update components:
Simply go to Powershell (admin) or Command Prompt (admin) (Windows key + X)
Type in the scripts after each line.
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
Restart your computer then try again. If this doesn't solve the windows update issue.
You may also try downloading the Windows Error Solver:
