Update leads to reboots, failure

The latest Win 10 update (from about 8/12) has really hosed me. Every morning the computer tries to install it, fails, and then removes the update. No error codes. This take about six reboots and half an hour. Never ran into this before. I'm about to roll back to Win 7 if I can't resolve this. Any suggestions?

I tried the trick of setting "metered connection" in the Wi-Fi settings, but that did no good, apparently because the update is already stored on my machine...

That's a great link... if they keep it updated. :)

Then go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download delete all the files in this folder and try installing the update from the file you earlier downloaded from the given link. Hope your problem is solved

Many thanks! There are a lot of files and folders in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. Delete all of them?

Thanks, will try tomorrow. BTW, hate to sound dense, but how do I install the file you suggest downloading?
