[SOLVED] Windows won't let me update latest OS

[tunatuna302]

Windows won't let me download latest MDS update.

There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later.
2019-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64-based Systems (KB4494441) - Error 0x8e5e03fa

Can anyone help? I tried a couple things that didn't work

Try downloading the update to your system directly and then performing the update:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

You can also get the media creation tool and make installation media to boot to it to do the update. If the error persists, web-search (Google, Duck-Duck, Bing, your fav) the error codes to look for advice on Windows-specific forums.

^ Those are good suggestions.
I personally always just wait a few days and try again and for whatever reason the updates have always installed then.
