Hi,

Haven't seen any solutions yet. But, there are a few more unhappy people over at Windows Central since I last checked earlier today. Seems that there's something going on and it needs a fix.

I've now got 2 machines in a constant (automatic) cycle of updating/failing/reverting. Arghhh.

Yep. And there's a new story on Windows Central regarding this problem also!

According to Microsoft (blog in the Windows Central app (from the Store)) all attempts to install the cumulative update will fail on some machines and that they are working on a fix.

Thanks, Cyberrufus: Putting the "path-to-.cab" in quotes seems to be working, and despite some other posts, the full file name--that is NOT deleting the Windows10.0-KB.......etc. start of the file name apparently is a key in getting the path to be recognized. We'll see, it's cooking now.

UPDATE:

Well, same result. The process worked seamlessly, allowed the update to download 100%, but failed on the install, and rolled back. At least your solution allowed a direct install outside of the Windows Update function in W10.

I believe that the problem stems from a corrupted Win Update database, created likely by a prior update and so far, no solutions are out there for that. The Wizards of Microsoft need to come out from behind the curtain to solve this one, which is plaguing lots of us and is widely reported in blogs, posts and forums all over the Web. In any case, thanks for the DISM structure so that we could test it for a better outcome. Appreciate your post.

Yeah. I found a website that posted a solution for this update (xxxx222) problem, blaming it on a corrupted update DB. I tried the Update DB fix. But I still had failure.

Yeah, this having to watch spinning dots every time I need to shutdown/reboot my machine is a PITA. I finally used the hide update tool.

Big FAIL MS. Two days out to Insiders is not long enough.

This OS has been another major flop for Microsoft. They claim this is the best windows ever? I guess all the noobs at Microsoft never used XP or 7. I have had way too many issues with failed updates and corrupt files over the past year. They can't even get basic functions working 100% of the time. Pathetic.
