Windows 10: Cannot finish update restoring

Windows 10 Home Version 1903 OS build 18362.1016 Update fails repeatedly, 1. I ran the Update trouble shooter. It "fixed some things" but after rebooting Update continued to fail. 2. Following the advice on Fix: We Couldn't Complete the Updates Undoing Changes on Windows 10 - Appuals.com I successfully deleted the SoftwareDistribution Folder. Rebooted, and tried update again. Again update failed repeatedly. 3. Something I noticed on th several attempts to update is that download of update KB4574727 stops for a long time at 20% before resuming and finishing. I do not know if that is relevant or not. How do I get Windows 10 to finish updating? Thanks.

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.
