Windows 10, version 2004, OS Build 19041.746

SFC /Scannow came back with no integrity violations.
DISM: operation completed successfully (no errors or anything to report)
SFCFix: Found no corruptions, did not repair anything
I have attached my CBS.zip file


I've been trying to uninstall Security Update KB4598242, its causing issues with a program I need to run.

I was able to successfully uninstall a different "uninstall-able" update by editing each .mum file in notepad that came with it, to remove its permanence.

However for this KB4598242 update, I wasn't able to find any .mum files to edit.

I have tried doing it from: Settings>Update&Security>WindowsUpdate>ViewUpdateHistory>UninstallUpdates>KB4598242 (An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled.)

Also going into advanced options on reboot, troubleshoot, uninstall latest feature update. It comes back with something like unable to uninstall this update, try resetting.

I have also tried wusa /uninstall /kb:4598242, doesn't work. (Error code 0x800f0905)

In event viewer it shows this: Package KB4598242 failed to be changed to the Absent state. Status: 0x800f0905.

I have disabled my antivirus and firewall, tried it again to no avail.

I have tried restoring from a restore point, which failed for unknown reasons.

I have used PowerRun and GiveMePower for Command Prompt and powershell, ran the wusa command and got the same error message.

I have tried going into safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, retried everything mentioned above with the same errors.

I have tried doing a clean boot, and retried everything above, same errors.

I have tried the dism get-package, dism remove-package command, same error.

When I ran that DISM remove package command though, I was able to look at the log it generated to see exactly where it was failing, I will only be posting the errors and warnings of the log, for space and time-sake. If you would like me to post the full log I would be happy to do so.

2021-01-17 11:03:30, Error DISM DISM.EXE: DISM Package Manager processed the command line but failed. HRESULT=800F0905

When I looked in the TEMP folder to see if I can find those .dll files, the folder DC432E82-ED86-4241-9223-35C491BAAFA1 does not exist. Neither does either .dll in the temp. I was able to find 4 different PEProvider.dll in C:\Windows\servicing\LCU, however I cant find EmbeddedProvider.dll in the C: drive at all.

At this point, I don't know what further steps can be taken, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
