Windows 10 Update KB5012599 Failed to Install - Error Code: 0x800f0831

KB5012599 downloads 100%, then after a period of inactivity it pauses at Installing 20% for an extended period of time, after which it shows that it has installed 100%, but about a minute after that it generates the 0x800f0831 error with matching failure to install message.

I have spent the last 2 hours trying to fix this problem, including running the Windows Update Trouble Shooter plus a host of other suggestions, but nothing works.

Never had any issues with Windows 10 updates till now.

I don't know what to do.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    Chuck Kapigian was right but it has to be done for all "duplicate events" in cbs.log

    In my case:

    cd HKLM:\

    Thanks. Eventually I gave up on other approaches and ran the media creation tool. It took a few hours but eventually I got a clean, up to date version of Win 10 with all security updates.

    It seems like the April updates are just so buggy, and not working properly for a decent amount of people
