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.

    Me as well, i paused updates for 7 days for now, but it really gets on my nerves. PC is not a helpfull personal computer anymore sadly, just a load of never ending tech problems and infinity updates that suck up my ssds write cycles.

    hello. ive just tryed again after a 7 day pause. now showing 2 more updates plus 20H2. the 2 updates go to pending install but wont. the 20H2 still goes from getting things ready to downloading that then goes to 100% then starts again at 1%. there seems to be some comments on YouTube about the 2004 20H2 version update.i had a issue early last year not related to 2004 20H2. following a update my laptop was left unable to boot up just left with a black screen so had to buy new windows 10 operating system disk as my laptop didn't come with it. was a refurbished eBay purchase. think it would be safer to stay on 1909 until the software programmers from Windows can sort out these long running irritating time wasting problems. my HP laptop is running well but it does become very annoying when new improved updates are available but are unusable
