I have a Windows 10 system that I believe was about 1 year behind in updates. I'd periodically run what solutions I'd find online .. dism.exe, sfc.exe, etc to try to fix whatever was failing. Nothing worked. I stumbled across an awesome forum (sysnative.com) with volunteers that help you track down your issue. Turns out I had a subtle 1 byte registry corruption: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/windows-update/22645-win10v1607build14393-x64-win-upd-0x80070246.html#post181300 https://www.sysnative.com/forums/windows-update/22645-win10v... Tracking it down required using sysutils' procmon.exe to log about 4GB of event data and correlating it with the CBS.log. It was a broken embedded unicode string registry value with a byte swap from x36 to xFE. My point -- there are a LOT of posts out there with people with broken windows 10 updates, and I think Microsoft could better address this.
