Today I took a generic Windows 10 20H2 machine and decided to update it with the 'keep nothing' option. After the initial install I set the proper time and did a WIndows Update. The update installs but hangs up on KB2267602 and gives me the error 0x80070643.

I am doing a fresh install and 20H2 bombs. Very sad.

    I had the same problem 10 minutes ago. Simply clicked "Pause updates for 7 days" and then "Resume updates". It reinstalled the same update correctly. I don't know if it would solve your problem but it's worth a shot.

    have tried the above as well as running .net fixer & nothing has worked as well as a repair install
    Windows update gets the updates & downloads them, install gets to 100% but then throws an error message (0x80070643)

    also tried the latest definitions from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/defenderupdates
    & running the installer, seems to do noting

    Now updating Microsoft edge from within edge still throws up the error with windows update, however now checking for updates directly within virus & threat protection has a spinning circle as though its trying - previously would only spin shortly before giving up but still has same result = Engine unavailable

    Note all other updates have installed fine, win 10 home v21h1

    Open an elevated command prompt windows, type the following commands one after the other, and hit Enter:

    net stop wuauserv
    net stop bits
    rename c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak
    net start wuauserv
    net start bits

    Open an elevated Command Prompt, type the following command one after the other and hit Enter:

    net stop cryptsvc
    md %systemroot%\system32\catroot2.bak
    xcopy %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 %systemroot%\system32\catroot2.bak /s

    Move to C:\Windows\System32\catroot2.
    Then, Delete everything from this folder.

    Now, Run the following command.
