    Got the same problem. Update failed to install. Guess Microsoft will have to pull this update back and reissue it since so many people are having the same problem.

    Sigh yet another buggy update by MS. Worked on my Windows 10 Home laptop but failing on my Windows 10 Pro desktops.


    With so many people failing to even install the update, I wonder sometimes if MS have monkeys as their QA team
    *Huh

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news pal, but unless you purchase an enterprise edition of Windows 10 you ARE the QA team. Welcome to the new M$ scrunge development model - of which you, I and several million others are now proud interns of.

    Just registered to say thank you guys. Windows Update is one of my favourite problems in Windows and Windows 10 was the only OS with which I hadn't had any problems so far. But now this one is also dealt with.

    THANK YOU ONCE MORE, I APPRECIATE! *Smile

    Auto update failed on my two Dell desktops (8700 and 8300) but succeeded on my Dell Inspiron laptop. The manual download succeeded on both desktops but one required a restart yet the other did not. Rather odd.
