Reset Windows Update in Windows 10

After running the bat file (with no visible problems) and restarting, run the wu troubleshooter which comes with this:

Is this normal?

Note: before using the bat file, i ran dism and sfc with no reported problems.

Hello,

Did the .bat file fix Windows Update for you?

The .bat file wouldn't affect anything for DISM or SFC.

It's possible the troubleshooter may have detected the security settings were changed by the .bat file to restore them back to default, unless you are still having issues with Windows Update.

In fact, wu troubleshooter found and fixed exactly the same things before everything else done.
Then dism+sfc+bat,. Restart and troubleshooter again (as in the previous image). Troubleshooter again (3rd time), this time no findings.

As for if wu is really fixed, I cannot really tell, as I am stuck with kb4598242 which does not install for its own reasons (have tried repeatedly the same procedure with no success).
Note:unfortunately bat is running too fast in cmd, to be able to catch any messages. Anyway it concludes successfully and asks for a restart.

Do you get any error messages when trying to install KB4598242 via Windows Update?

If you haven't already, you might see if you may be able to manually install the update via its MSU file.

KB4598242 CU Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.746 and v20H2 19042.746

Tried already manual install. No success, giving the same error code as via wu (0x80070002).
Lots of people have same/similar problem.

If you have a 3rd party security program installed, you might temporarily disable or uninstall it to see if you are able to update afterwards.

In addition, make sure you have the correct time, date, and time zone set.
