Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3206632)

I havw win 1o! I could`n find the option "view update history" Then you shouldn't be posting in a forum for W8.1. However, I see the same symptom, there is currently nothing in the search index which lets me find Update History. I have to know where it is and how to navigate to it. In W8.1 it was wuapp.exe In W10 it is ms-setttings:windowsupdate (or even more manual navigation starting with Update & Security, etc.)

morons microsoft morons, Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3213986) - this has failed at least 10 times since 10/Jan/2017. there is no error code but this is what happens everytime win 10 updates. win 10 home version updates automatically - when I click shutdown - there are only three options (update and shutdown, update and restart or cancel) - have no choice but to choose update and shutdown. it will take 15 minutes to shutdown when I restart next time, it applies and configures for another 15 minutes, but it will shutdown again and then restart, then it throws this message that it cant apply changes and all changes will be undone. after 10 mins it will restart. I am not able to shutdown at all. I just close the laptop in sleep mode. this is horrible. what the **** do you mircosoft morons do..ever since idnian dogs are used to develop and QA, things have gone sh1tty. if u morons do have a solution, reply to ******@gmail.com

Having the same issue, cannot complete my updates, also cannot do one step recovery, now what without doing factory restore, not having major problems mostly flash player problems but consistently, so I know I am having driver issues, but cannot run scan to fix it

Error: We couldn’t complete the updates, Undoing changes. Don’t turn off your computer.

morons microsoft morons,

Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3213986) - this has failed at least 10 times since 10/Jan/2017. there is no error code but this is what happens everytime win 10 updates.

win 10 home version updates automatically - when I click shutdown - there are only three options (update and shutdown, update and restart or cancel) - have no choice but to choose update and shutdown.

it will take 15 minutes to shutdown

when I restart next time, it applies and configures for another 15 minutes, but it will shutdown again and then restart, then it throws this message that it cant apply changes and all changes will be undone. after 10 mins it will restart.

I am not able to shutdown at all. I just close the laptop in sleep mode. this is horrible.

what the **** do you mircosoft morons do..ever since idnian dogs are used to develop and QA, things have gone sh1tty.

if u morons do have a solution, reply to ******@gmail.com
