    After version 1809 got installed, KB4467708 on 2018-11-15 and KB4471332 on 2018-12-11 both failed on the first (automatic) attempt with error code 0x8024200D. On both occasions the second (automatic) attempt was successful. I went google on the error code, results inconclusive but indicate a possible cause to be a corrupted download.

    Quite easy:

    Just don't check for updates manually.

    I do agree that this is unacceptable behavior by Microsoft. They should either use the "Insider" program for this (users that have agreed to install beta software), or pop-up a warning on WU before installing beta packages (this last is not a good option IMHO).
