Windows 10 Quality Update failure since 1803
My bottomline issue is that Windows 10 'quality' updates have been failing to complete since 1803. Feature updates complete successfully. Message received is currently "2020-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4537762) (92) Last failed install attempt on 2/13/2021 - 0x800f0922"
I have viewed and tried many of the proposed fixes, both from this forum and from various YouTube creators - including most recently a "repair update" from the latest Windows 10 ISO, in an effort to get Windows 10 up to date while retaining my existing files and programs. Each of these attempts has ended after (15-20 hours of runtime) with a black screen of death and despite all my efforts have required that I back out the latest updates and revert to version 1803.
I am on the verge of trying a "clean install" of Windows but anticipate that will result in me losing my currently installed programs.
Several questions: Has anyone experienced this type of update failure and know of a workaround? Is a clean install a viable option - in particular, is there any practical way to preserve my existing program collection?
Machine is a Lenovo 4389BB4 W510 i7 with 12G ram and a 250G SSD. Windows 10 Pro (x64) (build 17134.1006) version 1803
Thank you. Art
