I tried to put update 1803 on my tab but after several downloads,

That was a couple of months ago.
Today, I had some time and decide to make another go at installing 1803.
I find there were two updates to 1709, kb4056254 and kb4284819.
available for the OS.
Are these to correct problems that I was having installing 1803. If
not is MS still updating 1709?
OP: After reading what was posted to this thread, I decided to try 1803
again. I did a Disk clean including system files, I performed a Update
Troubleshooting routine, and then did the install.
The download went well, and the installation started, When it reached
22% it crapped out and return to the old OS.
I am using MS defender as a security program on the tablet. With the
Windows Update turned of Defender does not update. That is why I turned
it on and discovered the addition 1709 updates.
I'd at least install kb4056254.
And you don't need Windows Update to get definition files.
There are EXE files here, varying from around 105MB to 140MB,
with the definitions in them. Select the version for your OS.

On a failed Upgrade, you can:
1) Check the log files. There are two log files. The
smaller logfile is generated during the file copy
phase. Once the reboots start happening, a second
logfile is kept for those. Read the log and look for
breadcrumbs.
2) Do the usual stuff. The first command checks whether
a flag is set, indicating a problem. The second command
actually scans the OS for problems. The third command
scans and repairs. You can do these in that sequence
from an Administrator Command Prompt.
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
This one comes next. RestoreHealth ensures the contents
of WinSXS are sound. This one checks System32 and the
files linked in from WinSXS.
sfc /scannow
In Windows 10, those are supposed to go online if
they need files.
You really want to look at logfiles for clues. Alternately,
use your Google Foo, with search terms like
"Windows 10 Upgrade 22% fail"
as the percentage indicators, if consistent enough from
one user failure to another, are decent breadcrumbs to
use for a search.
You should find some threads to scroll through. Notice
in this example, there is a spread on percentage,
with either 22% or 24% reported.
