Windows 10 Updates - KB2267602 Security Intelligence update Fails to Install

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.

Try restart your PC and run the Windows Update again.
What Stan suggested worked for me. Thank you!
My computer keeps failing to install KB2267602 and yet there is nothing wrong with my computer. May I suggest that the problem is with the update!

The issue is with the whole update process. Over the last 3-6 months Microsoft has gone to a update process and hence we have growing pains. 1st. Edge now seems to have its own update process like Onedrive. If you have/use Edge go to 'help about' and see if you can update it. Then check if you have June cumulative update and other defaults. Then seem if KB2267602 install. However, I have a feeling since it is 2 months old it may have been superceded.
I have same problem with this update. Always fails to install. Other updates work fine, its just this KB2267602.

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.
It appears there are some strange dependencies that need to occur and then it works. Speculation is some magic incantation will make this work (just kidding). Hopefully this is a blue moon type of event in regards to updates. Although the last 4 months have been rather rough. My fix is patience and luck (wow).
This worked for me. Thanks!
Worked for me, too. Didn't have to wait the 7 days, just Resumed immediately and everything seemed fine.
Yep. Pause then Resume worked for me too. Computers can be weird.
This worked also for me! Thank you!

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.
net start cryptsvc
Then, Check for the latest Windows update.

I would recommend trying the Windows Update troubleshooter (and a reboot) first before nuking SoftwareDistribution.
When I'm about to delete Catroot2 folder, it says: The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program.
Close the folder or file and try again.
what to do in order to delete it.

Wow. I tried the troubleshooter. Did not fix the issue. I tried to rebuild the update catalog. Ran into permissions issues even when admin and didnt want to play around with that. Besides all those steps would make one certifiable.
Keep in mind this is a reinstall from the latest Windows 10 20H2 ISO where I tried 'keep nothing' and I also booted and deleted the existing disk partitions.
One possible fix is that now the WIndows updates are 'asynchronous' but you need to wait. You get the silly 'restart' button but Windows Updates are still downloading and installing. So I waited for everything to finish before a restart. I did this before. But for some reason when I did it now it worked. There seems to be some dependencies with KB2267602 and others in the install order. Maybe MS addressed this today?
It is rather disheartening that on a fresh reinstall this type of issue would come up. Right now I am leaning towards the problem being an install timing / dependency issue. As such all of the above suggestions are of less help as this is appears to be a Microsoft issue.
Here is what the list of updates for Win10 20H2 look like on a clean reinstall:

Since this is a recent fresh install computer, you could install the latest SSU and the latest CU, after this, your computer has been up to date.
About Microsoft Defender update, we usually don’t need to care, Windows Defender will update itself with Windows Update. Or you could manually install update for it from here:
