Windows 10: Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607

Failed to install,
I have tried several times , but each time msg appears
failed to update, and system undoes changes .
First time for me this
( several occasions over the years have led to me needing to
reinstall updates, but this one is pretty unforgiving )

I need a trick to start the whole process from scratch I think
but how?
Can't restore to a previous version as option no longer available

:)

2017-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4019472): Failed to install

I looked at the instructions in "Windows Update Components" and this is way too complex for the average home user. There should be a tool to do this easily.

FYI Several attempts for each Windows updates in the last few months and all failed.

I had that also with this update.
So here is what I did to get over it.
I restarted it then ran the Disc Clean Up app
Which cleared all traces from the Disc
Then let it download and install, which took some time
Then it installed to 30% then Restarted then finished at 100%
Which again sat there for some time then flashed up it had finished and now running all ok on all my systems
Hope that may hopefully help you with your problem
Let us know how you get on
The one thing I found with this one, you cant rush it

 

that's a great idea, I presume you mean also to to add clean up system files
as there is that option also in disk clean up.
Be back and tell you how it went
Thanks

 

Hi, extending that info slightly- this reads well should you encounter difficulties:
Black Manticore

 

Remember, you have to click the 'clean system files' button (or run Clean-up as Administrator) in order to clean up the windows updates.

I routinely run disk clean-up. I have no problems with update.

 

Didn't work guys, so I've opted for a reset, keeping files
Need a clean out ready for the new term ( student )
all those gaming gremlins and apps will be gone-gone-gone

On a side note my wee asus X205TA took the new windows 1607 happily 1st time
so its my PC , playing up ( also 1st time as previous build went through ok )

 

For interest, did you try the second option in the link I posted?

 

I didn't I'm afraid, shud have though , will remember
esp as I'll prolly have to do another build update install soon
Have signed up for developers SLOW option

 

1607 installed very quickly and easily -- all set
thanks guys -- till next time *Smile

 

Hi glad you got it sorted and all good now
