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 the same issue and absolutely none of the random guesses from microsoft on this thread have worked.

Ive been trying for over a week to install this update KB4571756, the same thing keeps happening, the update downloads fine, it's gets up to 20% when installing, then goes to 44% then straight to 100% and then the error code of 0x80073701 comes up, i even installed Reimage PC Repair which Windows recommended would fix the problem, it didn't and cost me £31, bloody con!! from the comments on here this is widespread, so can one of the so called experts on here come up with a solution for this problem for everyone and preferably an easy to fix solution, we're not all tech bloody savvy!!

I also did not find any help for this error, it is some paranoia, how can such a serious error not be resolved for so long...And no one from microsoft helped me.

So Microsoft is addressing the issues with September patch https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/09/15/windows-10-september-2020-update-issues/ Hope October patch resolves these issues and not come with its own new issues My issue get resolved By using Media Creation Tool and Upgrading my pc I also haven't experienced any issues till the installation of September patch

Yeah the in-place upgrade using the media creation tool is a 50/50 chance. It works for some and doesn't for others. It's no perfect fix, and I couldn't resolve it by doing that either.
