Just wondering if anyone has come across the scenario above and found a workable solution?
Pulling my hair out - that'll be singular - at the moment in frustration!
Mr Hope???? :)
Yes, I went through that infernal experience myself last month. The loop happened a couple of times wasting basically the entire day so I had to force shut down the system twice. Ouch! :-( (I should've left it until the update got completed by itself but didn't have that patience presuming something had gone wrong.) To make the long story short, at the end I just downloaded the update file from the MS site* and installed it manually. (* https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10)
Remind you that the version 1809 is a huge upgrade so it will take long (over 2 hours easily) according to / even for those who had successful update with no problem. You want to initiate the update before you go to bed and finalize it in the morning. You also may want to back up your important files before the update because there's been reports stating that everything in "Documents" folder is completely gone (yes, permanently deleted!) after the update and there's no way to restore them. :^O
Good luck to you!
