2020-12-16T21:47:23+00:00 I have gone thu everything. Deleting Software Distribution, rebooting, downloading and installing the 20H2 feature etc. But, even though it all runs without an error (even config on reboot) it gives an message that the update could not be installed and when looking at it says everything is up to date but in the history it says it failed.

I have tried everything to install 20H2 with no success. I have ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /restorehealth followed by sfc/scannow and then used the update assistant. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks from Howard
