Windows 10: Windows 10 Feature Update 1803

I have been having an unpleasant time with the Windows 10 Feature update 1803. I have a Dell computer as follows:



Note that the Windows 10 version I have was updated from Windows 7 with the free update.


Since May I have been struggling with the 1803 Feature update. The main problem is that it doesn't seem to want to work. There is always some sort of error and the process keeps repeating itself to the point that productivity goes to zero while I try to troubleshoot and retry the download. At one point I downloaded the tool that allows me to skip am update, but just recently I got an input on my computer from Microsoft indicating that I needed to update to the new feature. So I thought that just maybe Microsoft had figured out the bugs in the update and I could finally get past this time sink. But alas, no. We seem to be back to square one. Here is a printout of the Update History.




I know this is not a lot to go on, but I am getting to the point where I need to move on from this repeated failure mode. Is there a different way of getting the update accomplished besides the Windows Update Manager? If so that would be greatly appreciated.

:)

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.
