This update worked okay on 3 PCs but another one stated it failed. So, I downloaded the update and it stopped to say the update was already in my PC. Still states it failed. Hum, what to do?

Run Winver and if it says 16299.309 you need do nothing - it has installed successfully. This is a known issue, listed in the KB article for this update. See post #1.
Known issues in this update
Symptom Workaround Windows Update History reports that KB4054517 failed to install because of error 0x80070643. Even though the update was successfully installed, Windows Update incorrectly reports that the update failed to install. Select Check for Updates to confirm that there are no additional updates available.
You can also type About your PC in the search box on the taskbar to confirm that your device is using the expected OS build.
Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
Thank-you. I will turn it on and see if it makes a difference. My wife has an HP on this network. Hers is toggled to "download updates from PCs on the network". She gets the monthly updates with no problems...even the Adobe Flash security updates.
Will run the Windows Update Troubleshooter I see posted earlier in this thread, too. Thanks again for the informed feedback.
I updated using the 64bit stand-alone installer listed at the top of this thread. I too received the "restart to finish" button.
After restarting, my desktop icons were all squeezed to the left of the monitor. I dragged them all back to where they normally are, and restarted again. After 15 minutes...still no desktop. I held down the power button until the computer shut off. Waited 30 seconds and pressed power to fire up the PC again. Took about 5 minutes, but it finally came back.
Until this week, I've never experienced any problems from Windows-10 updates.. since upgrading from Win-7 in Sept 2015.
Once upon a time Microsoft had qualified software engineers that could make updates work smoothly and without hours of troubleshooting, fixes that do not work, and more hours of downloading windows, resetting and just everything under the Sun that only works some of the time. IMHO, much of the hacking on MS OS PC’s is from insider information Iwill just protect my PC’s with other than Microsoft updates and just ignore them because my time is worth more than trying to cope with their incompetent software people.

Wow, miracles will never cease;the update finally worked on number 7 attempt. All I did was re-boot. Well, maybe not since I forget exactly what I did to get there after using several so-called fixes on this and other forums. I think starting the Update Troubleshooter for the 4th time and it apparently found a fix that worked, maybe. Why would two identical PCs work differently where one updated and the other did not? I only turn these desktops on once every couple of weeks and usually one or the other will have problems with an update. WHY?
For those who installed the patch and it appears that error means that they are updated and there is nothing else to do.
In my case, that message appears but in the history of installed updates. There is no button to restart the update :/
Usually when there is an error it stops and re-downloads and installs it. And it is there in the history that shows the two: the error and the correct installed.
I used the Update Troubleshooter and nothing.
I have a doubt. When the next Creators Update comes out it will be like a new installation of the operating system. For those who have problems with the installations of the patches due to the lack of one as pre requisite or another reason. With the new CU, everything will be in one package ?
my system has updated to 16299.309 but i keep getting a failed Windows Defender update error
"Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Definition 1.263.659.0) - Error 0x80070643"
i tried many fixes including reinstalling windows 10 (keeping programs, files & settings) but no change..
if i try to update directly from defender i get "error code - 2147023293 ...Fatal error during installation"
Disk Cleanup of system files is also problematic & doesn't complete on its own.. has to be stopped & restarted numerous times but ultimately seems to delete the required files..
since i reinstalled windows 10.. do you think it's a setting that was retained from previous install that is stopping it from working? i've wasted hours on this and i've hit the wall.
