An update is being prepared for your device, but it's not quite ready.

[joedit]

I think this was first update KB5000802 and it needed a reboot before the rest of them,
when I cam back all these were updated:
KB4601554,
SERVICING STACK 10.0.19041.860,
KB4589212,
UPDATE FOR REMOVAL OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER
and the message was
:"An update is being prepared for your device, but it's not quite ready"
I ran the troubleshooter and rebooted but the problem persists.
Then I ran sfc /scannow and there were not any corruptions
Any idea??
Thanks!
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
