Windows 10 anniversary update fails with 0x80070057 error.

Thank You for your quick response, however since I am having so much trouble with running other work software with this Anniversary Edition I think I will revert my Surface Book to the previous build and leave the Surface Pro 3 where it is without the update.
I use these computers for work and I need to be able to run software without problems. I do know the problems I am having are with the Anniversary Edition upgrade because I have no such issues on my Surface Pro 3

with anything at all. Hopefully Microsoft will come up with a fix soon and in a way I am grateful the Pro 3 wouldn't do the upgrade .Was a blessing in surprise.

 

Surface Pro 3 battery display stuck at 99%

I completed the update from 8/29 available from the following links -

• v38.10.90.0 corrects an error that may occur on a limited number of Surface Pro 3 devices where the full charge capacity of the battery is misreported to the operating system and device firmware. This update corrects the firmware component that functions
  as a "fuel gauge" so that the battery capacity is accurately reported. See Surface Pro 3 Battery FAQ for the 8/29/2016 System Firmware Update for more
  information.

And the steps to start and restart twice after the installation.

I have used my Surface Pro 3 regularly and have had a total of 5 charging cycles.

I just installed the update on my affected Surface Pro 3. What should I expect now?

After you install the update and restart your Surface Pro 3 a second time, you'll immediately be able to start using it on battery again. Over the next five charge and discharge cycles, the gauge will stabilize
as it relearns the actual battery capacity in your Surface Pro 3.

However my Surface Pro 3 battery icon still displays 99% battery life constantly and then shuts down unexpectidly without warning.

HELLO. MICROSOFT - The UPDATE did NOT work!

Is there any other resolution to this problem?

I have also completed factory resets of my device in the past as well as checking for updates to the battery drivers.

All of which have provided me no resolution to this persistent problem.

Its greatly frustrating!

Please help!

 

UPDATE: Microsoft has now published a changelog for the update, confirming that this was the only fix.

I got a firmware update that helps battery life on Surface Book yesterday.
