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...
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.
You're welcome ^^
glad to hear it's working fine now,
though why did you have to use Windows update several times?

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.
- Ah yes 🙂
Defender updates, a cumulative update, .NET framework update sometimes if installed on system, device drivers if any of them is missing
