I am running Windows 10 Home 2004 (Build 19041.450). Windows Update notified me that there was a cumulative update available to install (2020-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64-based Systems (KB4571756)). When I told it to install the update, it will download and go up to "Installing - 100%" and then just show this error: I've tried the following in an attempt to fix the error: Run "sfc /scannow" in an elevated command prompt Run "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:<Source of clean Windows 10 2004 ISO created using Windows Media Creation Tool> /LimitAccess" in an elevated command prompt Uninstall and reinstall NET framework 3.5 from "Turn Windows features on or off" in Control Panel Manually download the specific update from the Microsoft Update Catalog and install it Stop the Windows Update service and delete the Windows Update cache located in "%SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistrubution", then restart the service Obviously, none of these worked so I'm looking for any other solutions to this problem. Any help is appreciated.

I have gone as far as to completely wipe my entire PC and reinstall windows and I am still having the same issues. **(KB4571756)**simply will not install, and I have tried every method suggested. The update tools fail and roll back all changes and I am now plagued with BSODs

I am facing the same issue and have been having this issue for over 2 months now. It fails everytime and ive tried everything.

So I was having the same issue and solved it by doing an in-place upgrade with a USB drive created using the MediaCreationTool2004

Thanks for a clear explanation; they're hard to find in this technological world.

This is weird and the first case of the repair upgrade just failing. I'm afraid I can't help from here but others might be able to. Good luck.

Run "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:<Source of clean Windows 10 2004 ISO created using Windows Media Creation Tool> /LimitAccess" in an elevated command prompt
Uninstall and reinstall NET framework 3.5 from "Turn Windows features on or off" in Control Panel
Manually download the specific update from the Microsoft Update Catalog and install it
