Trying to install the April update, but getting 0x800f081e error code, yet DISM and SFC say everything is ok.

I have no idea what went wrong, already installed a couple "big" updates along the way, there wasn't any problem before. How should I fix this?

Error 0x800F081E is CBS_E_NOT_APPLICABLE which means that the update can't be installed on the current system. This happens when a requirement is missing or the installed files have higher fileversion.

can you right click start button
click run...
type winver and press enter?

What version number/build are you on?

current is Version 1803 Build 17134.1

Ver 1709 , build 16299.402

As I checked fast, turns out there was a last minute update just before a few days ago that installed 16299.402. (on the Microsoft website, it says 16299.371 (on 4/10/2018) is the last one before the April update. So maybe I should revert that update, no?

Yeah, I got 402 yesterday before the version update.

try downloading the media creation tool and update using it - it worked for this guy: https://www.tenforums.com/installation-upgrade/109043-version-1803-error-0x800f081e-update-4-times.html#post1358655
