Windows 10: Stuck on 19041.685 and can't install Windows updates

I'm on Windows 10, 19041.685, and Windows Update stopped working a while ago.


Installing

• 2021-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64-based Systems KB5000802
  • Takes a long time, reaches 100%, doesn't install.
• KB4601554 begins installation .NET update. Fails:
  
  
• KB5000802 fails too.
  
• Event viewer: Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200B: 2021-02 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64 KB4601554.
• End result is:
  There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: 0x800f0900

I tried... many things:

• Manually downloading and installing the update still failed
• Click "Download and install" for Feature Update 20H2. Running the upgrade wizard, takes a long time, fails.
• Using the .NET Framework Repair Tool. No change.
• Running the Windows 10 Troubleshooter
• Read this guide: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/troubleshoot-problems-updating-windows-10-188c2b0f-10a7-d72f-65b8-32d177eb136c
• Rename software distribution folders.

I also tried running

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

This failed, but there's a hint what to do

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.19041.572

Image Version: 10.0.19041.685

[===========================84.9%================= ]
[==========================100.0%==========================]
Error: 0x800f081f

The source files could not be found.
Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log


Running DISM looks like it could work - but I can't find the right ISO for my version I'd like to try if there's a link / torrent / Rufus version that supports it.


What else can I try? Thanks!

Can't install kb4592438, always stuck at 96% and reverts itself.

KB4592438 CU Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.685 and v20H2 19042.685

If you have a look at that thread (the News section has a useful thread per update per build) you will see user experiences following. Several suggest that an in-place upgrade repair install fixes problems applying it. E.g. these posts:

KB4592438 CU Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.685 and v20H2 19042.685
KB4592438 CU Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.685 and v20H2 19042.685
