Fixing Windows Update Issue from Windows 10 1709 to Windows 10 1803+

I am experiencing a problem with windows update. The install will fail at about 60-70% and roll back to a previous version of windows. I’ve attached the logs from the latest attempt at an install of update 1803. It fails with error code 0x800704c7, but I wasn't able to find anything that was particularly useful with that error code that I hadn't already done.

I have already tried the following:

Running the Windows 10 Update Assistant (results in the same problem as running the updates otherwise.

Running Windows Update Troubleshooter and Resolving All Issues before retrying the install.

Downloaded latest Servicing Stack Update

Downloaded the latest KB

Used DISM tool to ensure there was no image of file corruption

Stopped update services and cleared the software distribution folders before retrying the update from scratch.

Update failed again, attached Windows Update Log from the last update.

In all cases, the update runs for a while, gets to about 60-70% with multiple restarts then rolls back.

Log is in pastebin here

UPDATE: None of the recommendations helped. Issue was solved by a a full reinstall of windows (repair, recovery, in place update, etc all did not help). Three other laptops made from the same image also had this issue, so something got thoroughly broken when they were imaged originally.

Windows Update on your computer seems to have a problem accessing the latest version.

I suggest to force the issue by doing offline upgrade to version 1903.
