Windows 10: 0x80240fff updates error for clean install W10p

I performed a clean install of W10pro x64 this week with the gatherosstate.exe method to generate a ticket
from my existing W7p. The install went fine and activated once the ticket was copied over. I didn't
notice for a couple of days that updates was not working, and is giving the 0x80240fff error.

It turns out the install media I used was for the W10p ver1511, which apparently had windows update issues.
I have tried all of the posted fixes:
Checking the defer updates box,
Using the updates troubleshooter,
Restarting BITS, setting for delayed start,
Resetting the update components wuauserv,cryptsvc,bits,msiserver,
Renaming the softwareDistribution folder

So far this has not fixed the issue.
When W7 updates had issues, there was always a KB fix that could be manually downloaded. Someone please tell me there is a similar KB fix for W10, since I really don't want to repeat my clean install with newer media.

Hi Tiribos and welcome to Tenforums.
If I understand you correctly, you have 10240 on your "W10 Home" system, and the error happens when trying to update to the November 1511 release, correct?

In this case, the page previous to the one you link, has the answer:

Use the ISO's to do an In-place upgrade.

Media creation Tool is now updated with Version 1511, OS Build 10586 of Windows 10.

Download link for Media Creation Tool:

Detailed steps on how to Download an ISO using Media creation Tool:

Then do an InPlace upgrade using Method 1 from here:
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
The size of the update through Windows update and ISO are nearly the same.
