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 have even tried a repair reinstall of windows using the 202H version and the results are always the same it take over an hour to attempt the update then fails. If I don't pause updates, it keeps trying over and over and over. It has rendered my computer USELESS unless I turn off all updates. This has been going on for weeks. MICROSOFT WHERE IS THE FIX???? ARE YOU OUT THERE? ARE YOU LISTENING? Get your act together.
My laptop is brand new out the box only hours old and I have an issue with this update too. except I'm getting
Failed to install on 15/01/2021 - 0x80240438
Very frustrating that a $2600 laptop has a rogue update.
I have tried clearing update cache like is shown here
https://thegeekpage.com/clear-windows-update-cache/
but windows update will not refresh. It doesn't even have the update anymore and the trouble shooter can't even detect the "Failed to install" logged error. What on earth is it checking if not the update history?
Microsoft please at least make the trouble shooter acknowledge the failed update.
Is anyone from Microsoft going to address this issue? I have tried everything I can find online but nothing is working and I'm getting constant reminders from Windows that my system is not up to date. What an absolute shi*sho* from Microsoft 😡

I totally agree with you. I am so frustrated with this ridiculous situation I am giving up. I cannot believe that Microsoft has not tried to remedy or address this problem!

Like everyone else, no luck updating the 20H2. Yes I have disabled/uninstalled all 3rd party apps, turned off all security, etc., no luck. Same as version 2004, never had any luck. The only way I could update to the 1909 is to start from scratch, what a pain!!!
