Error: 0x80070246, when installing cumulative updates

This has been going on since 1709 I'm on 1809 now! My PC just refuses to install cumulative updates always with an error of 0x80070246. Every other update will install fine.

Here's everything I've done so far:

1. Tried Different Antivirus Programs: AVG, AVAST, Kaspersky, Windows Defender
2. Scanned PC for Viruses, Malware, spyware, etc.
3. Manually installing the Updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog
4. Renamed "Software Distribution" and "Catroot2" folders
5. Re-registered BITS and Windows update files
6. Used System File Checker SFC command
7. Restarted Windows Update Components
8. Deleted CLFS logs
9. Used "Reset PC"

Any other suggestions?

Can't install Cumulative Updates for v1909

I was having a different error than you, but still could not get any updates to work without failing after download - whether through Windows Update or downloading from the Catalog and doing it locally. After trying many people's lists of how to reset Windows Update, I finally did the Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade Installation & Upgrade by Shawn Brink. Other than going in and turning off Defender and the Firewall just in case to speed things up when it was "Getting Ready" (this step took about 2 hours for me), this worked flawlessly. I went from a busted 19041.264, to a repaired 19041.84. I was then able to go into Windows Update, and about five updates installed perfectly including the May and June cumulative updates. Just a suggestion if you run out of ideas, I had!

 

Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081448) - Error 0x80073712

I ever had the same issue but with different cumulative update, I suggest you to go to Program and Features to uninstall the previous update that has been installed by windows update before you get the (KB3081448). After that run windows update again, Hopefully it will restore the previous update state and reinstall the latest updates successfully.
