Windows 10: Windows 10 Quality Update failure since 1803

My bottomline issue is that Windows 10 'quality' updates have been failing to complete since 1803. Feature updates complete successfully. Message received is currently "2020-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4537762) (92) Last failed install attempt on 2/13/2021 - 0x800f0922"

I have viewed and tried many of the proposed fixes, both from this forum and from various YouTube creators - including most recently a "repair update" from the latest Windows 10 ISO, in an effort to get Windows 10 up to date while retaining my existing files and programs. Each of these attempts has ended after (15-20 hours of runtime) with a black screen of death and despite all my efforts have required that I back out the latest updates and revert to version 1803.

I am on the verge of trying a "clean install" of Windows but anticipate that will result in me losing my currently installed programs.

Several questions: Has anyone experienced this type of update failure and know of a workaround? Is a clean install a viable option - in particular, is there any practical way to preserve my existing program collection?

Machine is a Lenovo 4389BB4 W510 i7 with 12G ram and a 250G SSD. Windows 10 Pro (x64) (build 17134.1006) version 1803

Thank you. Art

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.

 

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.
