Windows 10 Updates are not anymore working

I have a problem with my Windows 10 Education x64 Edition, Version 1803, Build 17134.590.

Since the Windows 10 Juni 2019 cumulative update was released, my Windows Update is not working on my system. Every time, the computer is restarted, the update fails with the error code 0x80073712.

Please help me, how to deal with this, without reinstalling my system (that is actually not possible).

Steps I already tried, but no positive result:

  1. I ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter.
  2. I downloaded this update manually and tried to install manual. No success.
  3. Tried to manually reset the Windows Update system (followed instructions from here)
  4. Tried to run DISM ans SFC to repair corrupted system files, using following commands: 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
sfc /scannow
  5. Try to remove pending.xml file under WinSXS folder.
  6. Tried to updgrade from 1803 to 1903. Upgrade failed and rolled back to 1803.

Windows Update results logs are available (not possible to attach here, but I can send it).

DISM and Windows Update logs are available (but could not attach here because of limits).

if you have tried everything then visit this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Then click on update now...you will get updated to windows 10 v 1903 and windows update will be fixed.

One more troubleshooting for Windows Update that is not found in your link:

Remove Pending Xml File

In an elevated Command Prompt run:

net stop trustedinstaller
cd %windir%\winsxs
takeown /f pending.xml /a
cacls pending.xml /e /g everyone:f
del pending.xml

As none of the remedies you tried have worked, I suggest to Do a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade, using the latest installation media.

This will upgrade Windows to version 1903 and probably fix the problem, while still preserving user accounts, user data and apps, and most Windows settings.

I would suggest first to take good backups of your data, and if possible take a backup image of the system disk in a restorable format and on another disk.
