Windows 10: Anniversary update won't install - no error code

I've downloaded the update for my laptop through windows update 3 times now. Each time it completes download, then restarts, configures updates, then gives me the notification: "We couldn't finish installing updates" Following that, a check of my update history shows no failed attempt or any reference to the update being downloaded. There is not at any stage an error code.
I have run the Windows Update Trouble Shooter with no result.
Any ideas will be welcome.

(I have a monthly isp download limit of 10 gb and with the speed i get it takes 4 hours to download the update so it has to be done after midnight so it doesn't count against the download limit *Sleepy )

Cannot update Windows 10 with Anniversary update - error 0x80070057

Whenever I try to update Windows 10 to the latest anniversary update, using the Windows 10 Upgrade tool, it downloads, verifies OK then stops at 2% with the error code 0x80070057.

I've tried everything, restarting, sfc /scannow, DISM repair, deleting temporary files etc but it
won't install!

Please help. Why won't it update?

I've tried using Windows Update itself, but it does not offer the anniversary update.

 

MMS not working since Anniversary Update

Thanks, but tried that and still doesn't work. I am experiencing a range of random issues and all have only occurred since the Anniversary Update.

1) Can't send or receive MMS

2) Uber app won't progress past the title logo screen (have installed and tried again)

3) Hilton Hhonors app won't install. Gets stuck at 'acquiring licence' in Store and then error code

4) WhatsApp still works but the updated version won't download in Store

It's odd because some apps can still be downloaded/installed/updated but not these (so far). It's like there was something in the Anniversary Update that doesn't agree with something in the app. The MMS issue is ridiculous though as that's a basic function.

 

Hi, download the ISO manually and create a bootable medium (which is useful in various circumstances).
(How - where- see the Tutorial section or search the net- not difficult).

That way you download once and can retry and have it available for other purposes. Also you avoid issues with Windows update.

From an admin command prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Make sure the result is clear or fixed.
Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:
How do I see the results of a CHKDSK that ran on boot? - Ask Leo!

Disable any AV. Disconnect any devices you don't need. Uninstall any program that affects or modifies your GUI.

Do a clean boot then try the upgrade using the Win 10 DVD/USB.

If it fails again, you can have a look at the log:
Windows Update logs are now generated using ETW (Event Tracing for Windows).
Please run the Get-WindowsUpdateLog PowerShell command to convert ETW traces into a readable WindowsUpdate.log.
