Windows 10: win10 20h2 troubles

I'm really beginning to think I've allowed myself to be majorly scammed in the last 2 to 3 weeks. Sorry for the long story but details are important. "Microsoft" informs me that my version of win10 will no longer be supported because i havent been able to receive updates. So I try using a "Microsoft troubleshooter" and after chatting on line and talking with "MS Support" miraculously I now have Win10 20H2- but now trouble starts popping up EVERYWHERE! I need to replace the battery which I did the laptop shuts down without warning regardless of the power setting

Trouble upgrading 20H2 with windows update

I'm running 10 version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.630) x64. Windows update tries to install KB4592438 2020-12 Cumulative update. Each time I run the windows upgrade, it fails saying some files are missing or have problems. Here is what I have tried: sfc /scannow, various flavors of DISM, stopped services, cleared out the upgrade cache, and restarted services. All of these result in exactly the same message.




Should I be worried about this? Can I ignore this? What other steps should I try?

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Update 20h2

Hi Wicki,

20H2 should not be installed right-away on your device - MS said the rollout is only to a fraction of users and would be labeled as an optional update initially. Are you enrolled in WIP?

You may uninstall 20H2 using the steps below:
