Windows 10: How to stop WU from trying to install 1803

One out of five computers has failed to install 1803 for months. I have tried everything suggested to get it installed with no success.

At this point I want to stop it from trying again. I remember someone posting a way to stop a sepcific update from trying to be installed, while allowing all other WU to function (this computer updates 1709 just fine, definitions fine, etc. so I don't want to completely disrupt WU). I searched and could not find the answer.

I think it was a third party program of some sort. Can anyone help? To keep automatically trying to install 1803 and rendering my computer useless for several hours is getting old and at some point who knows if it will successfully restore the previous version as it does each time it fails.

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

Update 1803 installs twice


PrtScr doesn't seem to work on that machine. But I ran WU and it installed a Win Defender update, then said I was up to date. The Check for Updates link then disappeared. Installed Updates listed only two updates, including only one instance of 1803 (kb 4343909). Uninstall updates listed only one instance of kb4343909 as well. I guess I'm going to have to do this routine next time after the local install and before connecting to the MS server, to verify the update actually is registered. There was no error message however.
