    I have been getting this error for the last week to 2 weeks. However, when checking the update history I see that the updates were installed successful. There are no error codes or unsuccessful installations. I don't understand how I can get that. Please advise.

    I got (KB3106246) and (KB3080333) numbers, probably these are my error codes.  I found this in 'advanced options' under 'windows update' of setting. I do not have 'Change PC Settings' in my computer. I was trying to update since 3 December 2015. I found this (update to be done) is to be done only when my iPhone 6 was not reading on the windows 10. Since then I could not use iTune on my iPhone 6.
