If all methods failed, you could in-place upgrade current system by a Windows 10 ISO image file, which can be downloaded from Media creation Tool.

Windows update fails. Error code 0x80070002 - Win 10 ver 2004
Windows update is continuously failing for the update kb4023057. The error says Download failed and then returns the code 0x80070002.
So far I have:
- Tried Windows update catalog. This update has no entries for Windows 10 ver 2004
- Removed SoftwareDistribution folder in the Windows directory and tried again. Same result
- Tried making a symbolic link to a folder on another drive with significantly more space. Same issue (using mklink /j)
I am out of ideas and suggestions on the net. Looking for some help here
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running out of solutions.
