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).

    After the admin command prompts by MArcoCinti on 12 Dec 2020 failed, I went back through the messages & found the link mentioned above

    https://howtofixwindows.com/windows-10-update-install-error/#:~:text=If%20Windows%2010%20update%20KB4592438,Update%20to%20download%20fresh%20files

    After following the steps on this website, the update installed without any issues.

    Hope Windows learns from this catastrophe of an update

    All because of God's might. You wouldn't have been able to install it if you hadn't prayed.

    hey guys, I don't know what happened to my PC, but it's like a miracle! I had the same problem, nothing working, not able to update, in my HP Laptop. I kinda made my laptop to self-repair - like my laptop start full disk repair. I was soo worried that I was about to die! as I thought my laptop would start installing fresh windows, but, yesterday I got a confirmation saying from my laptop, " your PC had update errors so we directly installed the latest version 'windows 10 OS build 19042.685" congratulations! " 

    I couldn't believe it with my own eyes! now I am with 19042.685. Praise GOD!!!!!!

    You can add me to the list. Been trying to install this update without any luck for the past few weeks. Manual install and all the other steps I've seen don't seem to work. I really don't wanna reinstall Windows. I'm hoping the next cumulative update works.
