  2. Tap or click Change PC settings, and then Update and recovery.
  3. Tap or click View your update history.

    Thanks for posting instructions. I could not find Change PC settings in Settings, so could not get to see the error code in View Your update history. Please post how to do this, so i can get error code.

    KB4041676 update has repeatedly failed to install. I have turned out Norton and Malwarebytes and it still will not install.
