Ari & Everyone!
I tried "Step A" in Ari's post with a twist and everything worked and I have all the latest updates with no issues so far.
I ran the tool MediaCreationTool20H2.exe from the link Ari posted but selected "Upgrade this PC now", was presented with Install Win10Home & Keep your data and apps, which I accepted and let it finish, it took about 5 hrs and after it finished, it downloaded all the following updates w/o a hitch:
KB4023057 (2021-03 20H2 Update),
KB5001391 (2021-04 20H2 Update Preview),
KB4601554 (.Net 3.5 and 4.8),
KB4577586 (Adobe flash removal).
I really think the culprit all along was KB4577586 trying to remove Adobe Flash, when there was NONE to uninstall, so the updates were crapping out; and for lucky people failing & rolling back, but not for the unlucky ones, thus, wreaking havoc on their machines.
It takes about 4-5 hrs because the "Upgrade this PC now" option will try to troubleshoot as well, so start early in the day.
Thanks Ari for the great detailed steps
