Windows 10: Failed cumulative update

My other laptop has been trying for a couple of weeks to install update KB5012599 but fails every time with error code 0X8ooF081F. We have tried a number of things to get it to install e.g. checking enough space, troubleshooting on settings, downloading the update from microsoft catalog, all with the same result. Is there a way we can install this or stop it trying every day it takes up so much time and cannot use the laptop whilst it is trying? Thanks

:)

 

Cumulative updates failing to install

For more than three weeks now, TWO cumulative updates have been continually trying and failing to install on my machine - cumulative updates KB3197954 and KB3200970. I've tried manually downloading the fixes that have been recommended elsewhere and this
hasn't solved the problem - the fixes also failed to install, and my machine is still attempting and failing the cumulative updates. What's my next step?

 

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.

 

Failed to install cumulative updates...

Since updates are cumulative only the latest matters. That they all fail and that you are on an old build suggests there's something amiss.
