Windows 10: Cumulative Version 1709 Updates for x64-based systems stuck on restart

Since March 2018, 2018-03 Cumulative Updates Version 1709 for x64-based systems (KB4088776) has stuck on requiring restart to complete the update. Though restart was performed either manually or automatically, this update has never been successful.
Starting from May 2018 now, Windows seems to give up implementing the above update, instead trying with another Cumulative Updates: 2018-04 Cumulative Updates Version 1709 for x64-based systems (KB4093112). But with the same disappointing behavior: it ends up with a system constantly requesting restart.

So far, MS does not provide a solution, maybe not even aware of such problem.

my Windows specification:
Edition: Windows 10 Home
Version: 1709
OS Build: 16299.248

see how frustrating that is? even the update troubleshooter won't fix it. It's been going on for weeks.

 

Windows Update failure

I'm getting the could not complete the updates.... message.

Here's my update history - looks like it did install.

Why does it appear it's trying to install the same update again and failing?

2018-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64 based systems (KB4074588)(4)

Requires a restart to finish installing

2018-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64 based systems (KB4074588)

2018-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64 based systems (KB4074588)

Then below that is a similar string with the 201-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for amd64-based Systems (KB4048955) (20)

First one says Requires restart and then the next one says successfully installed on 2/17
