Download Problems with Cumulative Update Version 1607 (KB3189866) x64

Kind of best to wait til the updates are available as direct downloads and install that way while blocking the update service till safe to turn on again when MS sorts it out with another update and so the dice keeps rolling

Updated one other PC without issues, but another hung on updating. I found that doing a Disc Cleanup followed by clearing the browser cache freed it to continue updating. This is a lot easier than all the contortions others suggested.

Actually, installing the update manually, which has been suggested several times, is the simplest way to avoid any issues. No contortions needed. What you did was not so simple imho.

Really? Disc Cleanup is basic... very simple, a couple of clicks. Clearing the browser cache same.... But trying to find the Windows Catalog for the first time was time consuming not to mention knowing what update failed. When my system hung, it didn't report which ONE of the 500 updates (I exaggerate a little) was the culprit. Then to have it error out when running frustrating and confusing. Finally finding a link to it took more time. When I saw someone suggest just clearing corrupted data sitting around as a solution, I thought that was very smart. I tried it. It worked for me. Simple. A couple of clicks and I was back in gravy. Once the corrupted files were cleared, then Windows Update worked as designed, which was my point.

Really? Reread what you wrote and read this: Install update manually.

I'm also stuck at 95%. Event viewer shows lots of service errors as well.

Do we really have to manually update or will this be fixed eventually?

I'm using the exact same settings. Update stuck at 95% for the last 3 days.

Will it get fixed eventually or should I just manual update?

I was stuck at 95% for 15 hours. I then shut down and restarted. Windows update said the update couldn't finish because the power had been turned off. Clicking its 'try again' option completed the update within 10 minutes. Try that, then do it manually if it doesn't work.

I didn't get any messages like "update couldn't finish" or else even though I shut down the pc several times, it's just stuck at 95% and there is no try again option.

I can wait actually if MS fix this at some point.

I have installed a fresh copy of win 10, which ISO downloaded a few days back.
Immediately after installation windows started downloading updates. Now, I want to ask why my laptop got the latest update KB3189866 but also updated and installed KB3176936 ?

Isn't the new update would have been suffice as it contains all previous updates built-in?

Now, I want to upgrade 2 of my other PC and thinking of manually downloading the update file, so shall I just grab the latest KB3189866 OR also the old KB3176936 is required ?
