New build + new install (jan26), Win10 Home x64 20H2 build 19042.631; Cumulative U/d KB4598242 fails
This seems to be a common issue, but I haven't found a report of it on a new install of 20H2. I've tried Troubleshooter, sfc, Dism but all still end up with the Cumulative update installing to 3...

Hi,
I reviewed the data you provided, I suggest that you perform a Reset using Cloud download.
the cloud download will download a fresh copy of latest Windows 10 for you and automatically reset your PC with it. it will take care of your Windows update problem as well as the corrupted files problem.
you can do so by going to Windows settings => Update and security => Recovery => under "reset this PC" select "Get Started" and follow the on-screen instructions.
(preferably choose to "Remote Everything" when asked, which will wipe everything from the Windows installation drive, C:\ )

Thanks very much for this advice. I tried a reset saving Apps and data - in vain. So then reset using Cloud download, as you suggested, removing everything having backed up all data to the 2nd SDD and a USB stick.
Once Windows was running and configured I installed nothing until I'd used Windows Update several times. All seems to be in order, and updates are complete.
- HotCakeXFeb 02, 2021MVPYou're welcome ^^
glad to hear it's working fine now,
though why did you have to use Windows update several times?- MG-20H2Feb 02, 2021Copper Contributor
Having installed the list of updates it displayed, it reported Up To Date, but I checked for updates (this has happened before), and sure enough there were more.... Defender, I think it was.
- HotCakeXFeb 03, 2021MVPAh yes 🙂
Defender updates, a cumulative update, .NET framework update sometimes if installed on system, device drivers if any of them is missing
