Have tried 3 times. Message on update page says it did not install and I may try again. This is not a new install. Have been using for couple of years.

I did the weirdest thing and it seemed to have solved the problem - I have had an issue with the major windows updates for about a year and a half now. After installing the update the computer would reboot and get completely frozen at the screen with the spinning circle (The "Please do not turn your computer..." etc screen). Then I updated my motherboard BIOS and it worked like a charm, went through on the first try!

I have the same problem. I have a custom built PC With a Asus H-370 gaming motherboard, rtx 2080, i7 9700k, It will download the update and in the middle of installing it, it will lock up, then it will infinitely boot for a while before it backs out the update. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am currently in 1909.
This did not work. download got to 98 per cent and then started download over. It took over 7 hours to download and was a complete waste of time.
Same issue here...
I did not recognize this update problem happening until last week when I switched monitors. Might be coincidence, but I haven't been stuck on the 20H2 update as long as many here. According to the update log, everything was fine through 2/19/21...
I am only knowledgeable enough to try couple steps that use the Troubleshoot utility. I've now paused the updates as far out as I can - 35 days - but Windows says I will not be able to pause again.
Because this not so new issue just only recently happened to me, the problem must be growing all the time with more and more systems affected.
