Hey there. Ran into this issue myself this morning while doing maintenance.

I can verify that Method 6 (Disk Cleanup, specifically of system files shown at 4:46 ) worked successfully for me and did clear the infinitely looping update prompt. After processing the instructions for Method 6, I simply went to the start menu, chose to reboot with update like the system wanted to - after a normal off and on again the system managed to do its thing successfully this time and no more problem. 👍✅💯

Thank you very much for your time spent making this video NKTechForAll - your thoughtfulness is appreciated.
