I am trying to install KB4592438 for Windows 10 20H2. The patch is downloaded without any issue. But the installation fails and the screen starts showing - Undoing changes Don't turn off your computer. The error message is - Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80070003).

    Having the same issue with the installation. Anyone getting BSOD with it?

    I hope that is true. I have talked to 7 techs over the last six days and none of them have reported or responded about a MS fix to this issue.

    straight from the Microsoft support team where I reported the failure to update

    Thanks for waiting, the development team explained that it is already implementing a fix with respect to this update, the deadline is up to 15 days, for them to launch the new version of this update with the built-in fix.

    The fix will be built into the update soon, what you should do is just wait.

    Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I've tried everything except reinstalling Win10 which is really stupid because if you need to install a new OS to complete an update why don't you just make a Win11 at this point? It is extremely frustrating !!!
