Error When Trying to Install Update (0x800f0831)

So I am trying to install an update but get the above error message (0x800f0831) is the error code

When I look up, it says this is a cumulative update, meaning it needs a prev update first.

OK, smart windows, what do I search for next? which one does it need? any clues atleast?

Here is what I found on google; - but the question is, what update # do I search for in the microsoft update catalog?

Resolution

To fix the issue, follow these steps:

1. Go to Microsoft Update Catalog.
   
2. In the Search box, enter the package ID of the <Missing_Package>.
   
3. Download the package and then install it.
   
4. Reinstall the <Failed_Package>.
   

 

Windows 10 updates - Error 0x800f0831

I have a persistent 0x800f0831 error on a couple of Windows 10 Pro (build 19044) machines. It's been weeks since Updates are stuck, and I get this error.

I have tried whatever method I could find:

• Followed the steps provided by the Microsoft support chatbot, i.e. running DISM (/scanhealth, /checkhealth, /restorehealth).
  
• Run the Updates additional troubleshooter.
  
• Tried various (popular it seems) methods found on the internet, including stopping and starting update-related services while deleting various windows folders etc.
  

Nothing works. I am open to other suggestions. Machines are i5 16GB RAM.

Any more tips are apprieciated.
