Windows Update KB2952664 constantly failing on configure.

Hello

For a long time I am fighting with update KB2952664 installation. First time when I ran in to the problems I just hid it as it was optional but now I need it to reserve my copy of Windows 10 (this update is required to run GWX tool which is now not working on my system).

As for the KB2952664 it is constantly failing on the configuration screen after the reboot with the error code 80044015. Windows is automatically reverting the changes than.

I have tried quite a few suggestions found on the internet (like SFC repair etc.) but without any luck. By the way, this update was failing even on a clean Windows 7 installation as I reinstalled my system not long ago and this was the only KB that I was unable to install so it seems that the problem is not related to any software or configuration change on my Windows.

Blow I zipped CBS log and windows update log:

Is there anyone who can advice on this problem?

Is there a possibility to reserve a Windows 10 copy without GWX tools so I will not need to install this problematic KB?

    As long as you format the hard-drive prior to doing the clean install of Windows using the Recovery disks that came with the computer-in-question, all should be well.

    Note: If the computer came with a Norton or McAfee free-trial preinstalled, it'll be installed again - but invalid now. You MUST (a) uninstall the free-trialware AND THEN (b) download run the appropriate removal tool [1][2] & reboot (c) BEFORE you install or attempt to install any updates AND BEFORE you install an anti-virus application (e.g., Microsoft Security Essentials - free).
