I happily tried that route and it did zero for me. It's strange how that works for you and not for the other one, much like the update itself. It worked for some and not for others! Weird and wonderful!
KB4566782 Update Loop
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.

To make the patch work after downloading it from the Microsoft Catalog, I performed the following Windows PowerShell (Admin) commands:
- dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
- Afterwords I also ran the sfc /scannow command to ensure the new image was errors free.
- Then I applied the patch from the Microsoft Catalog. Make sure that the patch reflect your Windows version i.e. 64 bits or 32 bits.
My Windows Update issue was resolved and everything has been working fine since then.

I feel your frustrations. I suggest you try to make a deal with Microsoft for a one year cost free support.
However, my feeble eyes can no longer read the copious number of emails I continue to receive on this problem. We should also display some etiquette apropos. If you want to continue, please originate your own Microsoft Community query.
