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.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    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. 😷

    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.   :-)
