Ok, so after spending a few more hours on this, looking at the install logs, and reading numerous forums, I found the following.
If you absolutely cannot install ANY updates (which seems to be the case with me or eweiss), is most likely caused by Windows system components getting corrupt. It's been reported that this might get resolved by repairing your current installation of Windows. In order to do this, download and install Windows Media Creator, run it and choose option "Upgrade this PC now". This will keep your files and settings, but will re-install all Windows system files. In my case, though, this didn't work, as the update process would go to about 37% and fail without explanation. I tried different suggestions, such as removing all additional hard drives, disconnecting all devices, etc., but no luck.
I also found that some users were able to fix their installations by built-in Windows tools. Try running PowerShell as admin and then typing "Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth". Then run command prompt as admin (cmd) and type "sfc /scannow". Some people were able to fix Windows Update after that. However, in my case it didn't help either, as sfc refuses to run. I spent another 2 hours trying to figure out how to get it to work, but at some point I realized I already wasted 12 hours on this and in order to stop wasting more time, I have to give up and go to always-working solution of doing a full reinstall of Windows.
So I just created a USB installer for Windows 10 using Windows Media Creator and backed up my ProgramData and Users. Tomorrow I am going to format hard drive and do a clean install of Windows. Hopefully Windows Update will start working after that and KB4019472 will also install. Will report how it goes.
