Grateful if someone can offer some insight into the cause and what recovery action can help resolve the problem.

Can't Update Windows 10, No USB function, Errors 0x80070652 & 0x800703f1

I also tried the windows update assistant. It recognized that I am running 10586 and the latest version is 14393. Per usual, the update fails at ~85% with error 0x800703f1. On the steps you listed before, the windows update troubleshooter recognized 2
issues and stated that they had been fixed. I could be wrong, but I don't think they were fixable on previous attempts (before you started assisting).
