I personally am getting very anoyed at the Windows 10 UPDATE process and the almost constant issues with updates not installing.
No other OS I've ever used has had this BS with updates.
Unacceptable.

I couldn't get that particular update to install either and had to download and manually install it.  However, it's the first time that has ever happened to me in any version of Windows.

I just saw in another forum where people using the latest preview build did not have any problem with installing that update. Interesting.
We had no trouble with it since it doesn't apply to build 10547.

If the explanation from MS isn't enough, you could always use:

Unfortunately that doesn't do a thing for me. No access to a download and therefore not able to test or try.
