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.

Not Same, Second and third in place upgrade fails as usual. This update has not changed since the September 7 original release date. Windows 10 remind me of my first automobile, spent more time fixing than driving ;>).

Same, second try at the in-place upgrade and it worked, no issues on updating. also it didn't take that long, the first try took like 3 hours and I gave up.

I understand your frustration. In August another update failed to install in a similar way and there were several retries per day. I stopped windows update waiting for the September patch tuesday. Now i am using a Microsoft tool to hide this offending update. I think they developped this tool for cases just like this. This is the second month in a row now with failing updates.

OHHKAY. LOOKS LIKE I LUCKED OUT. SECOND ATTEMPT AT IN PLACE UPGRADE HAS FIXED THE ISSUE AND I WAS ABLE TO UPDATE TO THE OCTOBER PATCH PREVIEW. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW BUT IT WORKED.

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.
