Windows 10: Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004 hangs during installation on Surface Pro 6 at...

I had several unresolved issues with Windows 10, 1909 ex. Some hyperlinks not working in Word, Powerpoint & Excel; Deletion from Office 365 App jump lists not working as expected; Display setting Show only on 2 not being remembered after Sleep. Since the issues were not resolved in the last several months I tried to upgrade to Windows 10, version 2004 yesterday as it just became available for me in the hope that Windows 10 1909 issues may be fixed in that release, but the installation hung twice at 61%. I tried some troubleshooting steps like rebooting, cleaning temp system files, restarting Windows Installer service and Windows Update service etc. before attempting the install again but it got stuck at 61% a 3rd time. My disk is 57% free with ~135G available and both EFI system partition and Recovery partition are 100% free and all partitions are healthy.

Other than Adobe Acrobat Reader and Google Chrome I have only Microsoft Office 365 installed on top of Windows 10 Pro on my Surface Pro 6 and I use Windows Defender no other anti virus software. Not sure why such a simple configuration can't be updated and why Microsoft has introduced so many bugs in 1909 that they are not fixing.

Problem updating Windows Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 feature updates

Hi,

I have manage to install image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4 by going to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...erecoveryimage and download a recovery image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4.

What I did to reset your Surface from a USB recovery drive was:
Step 1: Make sure your Surface is turned off and plugged in (hold down the power
button for 30 seconds).
Step 2: Insert the USB recovery drive into the USB port on your Surface.
Step 3: Press and hold the volume-down button while you press and release the
power button on your Surface.
Step 4: When the Surface logo appears, release the volume button.
Step 5: When prompted, select the language and keyboard layout you want.
Step 6: Select Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
If prompted for a recovery key, select Skip this drive at the bottom of the
screen.
Step 7: Select the target operating system you wish to reset. This
refers to the current operating system installed on your Surface.
Step 8: Select Yes, repartition the drives, and on the next page, select Next.
Step 9: Choose Just remove my files.
Step 10: Select Reset.
Surface restarts and the Surface logo displays while the reset process continues
(this can take a while).

This always fails and I have to do the below which continues installation.
Windows 10 Installation Media:

1. Insert the Media (DVD/USB) in your PC and restart.
2. Boot from the media.
3. Select Repair Your Computer.

Select Troubleshoot.

1. Choose Command Prompt from the menu:

Type in the command:
Diskpart
Type in the command:
List disk (Note which disk is your Boot drive number mine is 0)
Type in the command:
Sel disk 0
Type in the command:
List vol (Note which volume is the EFI partition mine is 4)
Type in the command:
Sel vol 4
Type in the command:
assign letter=V:
Type in the command:
Exit
Type in the command:
V:
After you have assigned a drive letter Using Diskpart You can format the EFI partition:
Example: if you assigned a letter V to the partition the command would be:
format V: /FS:FAT32
Type in the command:
bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI


Now I have an issue that I cannot install Feature Updates. They keep failing to install.
Any ideas how to resolve issue?
