Hi Everyone!

Yesterday my Win10 "2021-01 20H2 x64 KB4598242" update was NOT successful. I tried 4 times but got the following error every time: 0x800f0988. I ran Windows Troubleshooter, (SFC /scannow), and (dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup) and NONE of them found any issues to fix! I downloaded "windows10.0-kb4598242-x64_725aeed030bc68b2d07096503bd26918ac1fe488.msu" and ran it but it was unsuccessful too!

Why does Microsoft always release updates in haste and so prematurely w/o thoroughly testing them? I guess our time is not important and valuable trying to figure out solutions to their mess for days and weeks!

I have all the latest Sep/Oct 2020 updates as follows:

My PC is 3 years old and I reset it to OEM every January 1st as part of my Spring Cleaning :)

Edition    Windows 10 Home

Version    20H2

Installed on    ‎1/‎1/‎2021

OS build    19042.685

Serial number   *******

Experience    Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

Thanks

My laptop has been displaying this since 6.30am currently it's 16.13pm (UK time)

So 10 hours so far, beginning to think something has gone wrong?
