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.

    To all the Microsoft Community Members still having problems with this particular Windows Up date issue, I would like to remind you, that I was the original reporter of the problem seeking the Community assistance. Consequently, I am not qualified to provide you with further troubleshooting information. My next step, in the event the problem was not repaired, I would have probably used the Windows10 MediaCreationTool to download  the latest Windows 10 Version 2004  (one has the option of keeping all your files and Apps.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10.

    However, before doing the upgrade,  I would have called Microsoft Support for assistance

    I felt all your concerns and I could not have lived this long waiting for this important issue to be resolved (as some of you- including myself) have expressed).

    i did the media creation tool thing and kept my files and apps and this worked. this should be marked as the solution. nothing else worked.

    I disagree that re-installing Windows 10 is the solution to this problem. A full install is only justified in extremely problematic situations, not the failure of a simple routine update. The voice of Microsoft QA is completely absent in this issue ( any form of QA out there?). 

    How many fails before an update is pulled back for fixing? 

    How many affected users before we deserve an official communication from Microsoft on the way forward. 

    I am awaiting next patch Tuesday and will take it from there.
