Windows 10: Win 10 Pro 64 1809 to 1903 update stuck in endless install loop

Being in the slow ring, 1903 turned up on checking via Windows Update. I fresh installed 1809 a few months ago, don't particularly want to do that again with all the settings and software to sort. Have now installed 1903 at least 6 times, allegedly! Tried a basic stop and start of the relevant services and deleted the Catroot2 and SoftwareDistribution folders, reboot. Same deal (that was try 5).

You would think Reset Windows Update in Windows 10 | Tutorials would fix it, but I ran the batch file, rebooted and WU gets same result. On restart, it counts up to 60% before doing the restart. No errors reported yet there it is, on 1809 with a check on WU finding a new Update so it busily gets about downloading it, whether I have reset Windows Update or not. So it will then install this lovely newly baked version, grinding away for an hour or so to do that before asking for a reboot, doing that, and hello ground-hog day...!

SFC reports no violations. Windows Update Troubleshooter finds no problems. But wait, I have just run it for what would be the 4th time now (first time after running destructo-bat) and it found "Some security settings are missing or have been changed" and "Service registration is missing or corrupt", both of which it claims to have fixed. Ran SFC again, to be sure. Still good.

So, really, I shouldn't post this topic until I have gone round the the hurdie-gurdie one more time, one more time, one more time. But there is clearly a problem here and I won't be alone. So let's get some tracking of it. I'll come back and report...*Rolleyes

PS: The WU Troubleshooter output (some could be because it is currently 34% through installing):

IsPostback_RC_PendingUpdates
IsPostback: False

InformationalIsPostback_RC_PendingUpdates
IsPostback: True
