KB4566782 Update Loop

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).

Call Microsoft Support? Everyone that one talks to on there has a different answer and a different solution, some of which are not good! 

As to the MediaCreationTool ... I think you will agree, we should never have to go through all that to fix an update. 

September will be rather thrilling to see what comes down the pipes this time. I suggest we all keep a Class C Fire Extinguisher on our desk perchance of an explosion.   :-)

I am not a Microsoft support engineer but imho there are 2 possible outcomes :

• a new version of KB4566782 will replace the flawed one and succeed installing along newer updates. 

Or

• this KB will be pulled back and rolled up in one or another new KB at next patch Tuesday. 

So let's hang in, but not hold our breath on this. 😷

Please read it correctly- it did work for me. I am only restating the action I took to fix the problem for my computer. I just repeated the procedure in case it was missed. My latest action was triggered due to the many posts on this issue. I apologize, if I caused more confusion.

I've tried that a couple weeks back and again after I read your previous post and it simply doesn't work. 

My question now is: how do I get that noticed about the failed update / retry out of there? I've deleted the files from within the Softwaredistribution / Downloads and I cannot get rid of it. 

It is not possible to skip an update. I paused the updates for the next week(s} until a more recent version than August 10 2020 appears on the download site.

So leaving it there in suspended animation, what happens to this when the next update comes along? Does the new udpate just get rid of this present one?
