Oh okay.. I'm sorry but I have run out of ideas maybe other community members could provide a good advice or even so Microsoft could release a new update with a fix.

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.

You can try the steps below to check if Windows will stop trying to update it again:

Type each of the following then press Enter

2020-08-13T11:26:56+00:00 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:
After that starts a Windows Repair Installation:

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:

2020-08-13T13:40:15+00:00 The update is one and is called KB4566782. I have been on the site with regards to the NET Framework & the instructions are not instructions, for example the following,
"This error code can occur when an alternative installation source is specified and one of the following conditions is true:
- The location that is specified by the path does not contain the files that are required to install the feature.
- The user who tries to install the feature does not have at least READ access to the location and to the files.
- The set of installation files is corrupted, incomplete, or invalid for the version of Windows that you are running.
To fix this problem, make sure that the full path of the source is correct (x:\sources\sxs) and that you have at least Read access to the location. To do this, try to access the source directly from the affected computer. Verify that the installation source contains a valid and complete set of files. If the problem persists, try to use a different installation source."
For the ordinary person, this is senseless. Could it be that a new Windows Update will fix this since I see I am not the only one having problems with installing this, at least on this computer.
