Might try to install using DISM then like suggested above.
Why so much effort,it's not like it is some critical security update or huge feature update.One thing people should know about win 10 by now is that it is never a good idea to force a big update like this especially if everything is currently running fine.

I am more interested in the fact that he already has important updates that fail to complete installation for eg. the security update mentioned above. Feature updates can wait but this should happen.

From the looks of it something seems to be wrong with Windows Update in his case.

He only mentioned windows defender update pending & that's different from normal/important win 10 updates.

You are totally confusing. From your statements earlier I thought 1809 was offered to you but fails to install.

Now if it is only Defender, DISM should be the way forward. But first run Windows Update troubleshooter once.

Brother I mentioned beforehand in my previous comment that I am stuck on with 1803. Perhaps you misunderstood to that as 1809.
Ran troubleshooter twice,everyissues/problems were ironed out as shown by small green right/correct sign enclosed in a circle.
STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS....

As per,@whitestar_999 's suggestion I am not running and throwing myself to get the 1809 update now. I was just mentioning the current scenario of Windows 10 in my Desktop-PC,regarding October'18(1809) updates. That's all.

Unable to install 1809 (OCT 2018) updates of Windows 10.
Simply put,updates are struck till 1803 for Windows 10. Tried various methods for updates but in vain.
@whitestar_999 ; @sling-shot ; @topgear ; @anupam_pb any ideas friend?

What does bolded part mean?

There could be different perspective in meaning the bolded part that I commented.
Maybe I am wrong grammatically.
I stated clearly that I am unable to update to 1809 from 1803. But in my DELL laptop the update of 1809 was seamless.
Where is the confusion???

Please don't take it personal and no hard feelings,bro.

When you said updates are stuck, I came to understand that they were offered to you but failed to install. And then you showed an example with Pending Install. This made me think that there was some problem with Windows Update itself. (I have had enough troubles in the past with it).

Let us leave it at that and please try the link I wrote above and see if it works for you.

I have 1 pc on which I got 1809 .
On the 0ther hand my 4 laptops are still 1803 .
All show no updates are available .
I guess we must wait till they show up naturally and not try and sideload .

Strange,the "mpam-fe.exe" (64-bit) file is not installing.

I do have KASPERSKY Total security(1-yr. subscription) though, installed onto my Desktop-PC
