Windows 10: Windows Update Failure 0x800f0922 and Stuck at Download-Install-Fail-Backout-Repeat Cascade

Windows 10 (Hewlett Packard laptop) computer is at the 1803 build and will not install KB4343909 and keeps giving error 0x800f0922. Then backs out the update. Then retries the update. Then fails. Then backs out. Then repeats every day... Every install/backout cycle takes over an hour! This is totally ridiculous. I used the Troubleshooting wizard/app for Windows Updates. It indicated it found problems and fixed the problems. However this is not true. The 0x800f0922 problem persists. Furthermore, in the 1709 build there was a "Pause Updates" button to allow me to suspend this ridiculous behavior. But in the 1803 build the pause option is gone. So not only has Microsoft broken my computer, Microsoft has removed the only means for me to control the failure behavior and be productive!

Three questions:

1. How do I fix the 0x800f0922 failure?
2. How do I pause or suspend installation of KB4343909?
3. Microsoft: what is wrong with your quality testing?

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate
