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.

    Danilo, thanks for the feedback.

    Have you tried manually downflowing the KB4566782 update?

    Upou can do so from the link below:

    https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search...

    This did not work for me. Install failed.

    EDIT:

    1. Tried Windows Update fixer:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/fix-windows-update-errors 

    Install failed.

    1. Went to command prompt as admin:

    "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth"

    No errors to fix.

    Install failed.

    1. Same

    "sfc /scannow"

    Install failed.

    4.

     1. Try reset Windows update components:

     2. Right click on the start button and select Powershell (admin) or Command Prompt (admin)

     3. Write the next hit enter 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

     4. Restart and try again.

    Install failed.

    1. Tried installing patch manually from

    https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4566782

    Install failed.

    1. Tried installing manual windows update and pushing the patch that way.

    Install failed.

    EDIT Nov 9, 2020:

    I left it for some time, not caring. At some point the update from this thread successfully installed, but then the computer hung on KB4579311, and also the v20H2 update. They would download, install, get to 100% then "failed". So same issue as this thread, and same HEX code.

    I walked through all the above fixed again. Did not work.

    Tried the Windows Update Reset tool. Did not work.

    What worked was downloading the Win10 v20H2 update ISO from here and installing:

    https://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win10\_20H2\_English\_x64.iso?t=1ab6f70c-b3b8-4a22-840b-1493fb6a423f&e=1605033367&h=d842921cd79918fc8a38e168efd52584

    Found instruction page here:

    I'm not sure about Jon but I've tried that and have had the great joy of it going pads up! In other words, it wouldn't install.

    Same here. It does the exact same thing whether I use the built in updater or a manual install from the catalog. The problem isn't with Windows Update, it's with the update itself!!!
