KB4566782 Update Loop

Anonymous

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.

    Which version of Windows are you running? 1909 or 2004?

    I agree the website isn’t very friendly in regards to instructions.

    Do you have the latest service stack update installed?

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/457033...

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/456907...

    Manually download the update:

    Is it Update KB4566782  as I had this problem yesterday and got the message:

    Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80073712

    I posted this problem yesterday and used the troubleshooter and also sent feedback to Microsoft.

    PS: If you click on the name of the above update where it describes the update it says  near the bottom the following but we should have already, if set as mine is, automatically received this Servicing Stack Update. I don't know whether to try this or not.

    Microsoft strongly recommends you install the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system before installing the latest cumulative update (LCU). SSUs improve the reliability of the update process to mitigate potential issues while installing the LCU and applying Microsoft security fixes. For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions.

    Yes you can use Microsoft update catalogue to see if it installs the update.

    Do you know which update is failing?

    Is there more than one update trying to install?

    If so try installing the updates individually with this tool:

    You can try the windows update minitool to install updates individually or block the update permanently:

    The error points to .NET Framework:

    Hello,

    Error Code 0x800f081f means CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING.

    The fastest way to repair is to do a inplace upgrade.

    Have you installed a 3rd party Antivirus and/or Firewall Program and Tuning Tools?

    When yes, please remove this.

    Please use the removal tool of the respective manufacturer of the antivirus or firewall program also.

    A list can be found at the link below:

    https://www.dell.com/support/article/de/de/debsdt1/sln208651/utilities-to-completely-remove-antivirus-software?lang=en

    After that starts a Windows Repair Installation:
