Cannot Install 18875
I am on the latest 1903 build and I have a couple machine that refuse to install the latest 18875 build. I have cleared the software distribution folder, restarted, stopped and started services etc. ...
FINALLY got this going. Thanks to the Windows 10 Feedback App somone got me to try these steps
This is what worked for me:
Services > Windows Search > Stop
Services > Windows Search > Properties > Startup type > Disabled
Command Prompt (Admin) > net stop wuauserv
Command Prompt (Admin) > net stop bits
Command Prompt (Admin) > net stop dosvc
Delete the folder: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution (rmdir /S /Q %windir%\softwaredistribution)
Restart the PC
Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates
Stop the Windows Update service via CMD running as admin and run this command "net stop wuauserv" then open File Explorer and open this path "%windir%\SoftwareDistribution" delete everything inside it but don't delete the folder. Open Windows Settings or via Win+I, run Windows Update and it should download and install normally.
I've done those steps and more, still Build 18875 fails to install from 18362.86. It stops between 14% and 35%

- this topic should be marked as SOLVED, because Microsoft published a fix for this a week ago.
