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, please try to run the command on Command Prompt instead of PowerShell.

    I  went to the live chat -- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contact/virtual-agent/     again today (I went yesterday) and did what the automated chat said but it didn't work again today so was told to do something else but was afraid to try so I was transferred to a real person via the computer and that person wanted to do a remote, but I didn't care to do a remote so asked the person if he could tell me something else I could do later, and he gave me the following directions which I copied and pasted from the site: 

                                               Restart Windows Update services

    ====================================== +Press Win key + R, type services.msc, and click Enter. + Locate Windows Update service. + If the status of Windows Update is not indicated (the column is blank), right-click on it, and select Start. + It might be that force start of Windows Update ends up with an error. + In this case, find the option Startup Type, and set it to Automatic. + Finally, restart the system and try to run the update.

    I am not going to try this just yet but this weekend will ask a relative who knows all about computers to help me. If he solves the problem, I will let you know. 

    After getting the above information, I got an email with a case number and they are supposed to get back to me.
