Download KB3213986 and install it before enabling WU. The rest took about 10 minutes with no reboot. It's the largest KB file that stalls the update process on a clean install.Get it there:
Microsoft Update Catalog

WU is always enabled, no? Or how to disable? I downloaded from the Catalog.

Never mind about disabling WU, don't click on it. Just come here and see what KB is available(once a week and get it from the catalog). For the rest, you should do a clean install. Machine screenshot is showing abnormal behavior and you probably have other issues. Be positive! 1607 runs very, very well.

At my wit's end here. I keep getting "Error 0x8e5e03fe" EVERYTIME trying to download this update on WU. Symptoms are: Hangs at 9% download for about 10 minutes, then jumps to 11%, then get the errors and all stops. Clear out all areas all the on line fixes say, stop Windows Update Service reboot, restart service. Checked Proxy Server settings, reset TCP/IP, flushed DNS cache. Also tried stand alone download from Windows catalog of this Update (2-4 times, even on memory stick from other PC), still fails.
The Windows Update Troubleshooter, after many times supposedly trying to fix the problem, was useless.
At this point, I am about to give up, and I hope the next update works and in Cumulative to before this FAILED one.....

@MikeMecanic
clean install? Followed by 3 days of reinstalling/configuring all programs? Not an attractive option.
I've no problems with 1607 except this repeatedly failing update.

Ya me too... I dont usually have issues, but this time.... it seems to bad.

Did not see this thread before posting over here, so sorry for the double posting....

Sadly this (just like the previous cumulative update) is totally refusing to install on my Dell XPS 13 laptop. Ironically my much older desktop PC installed the update within 10 min - however this well-specced laptop (incl SSD) is taking about an hour to try and install, before stopping at 98% to then say "We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer". This takes over an hour to roll back. Of course then when you get back into Windows you find the install failed, but it wants to try again - you then can't restart your computer as it'll try and install again!

Any suggestions what to do next? I've done /scannow, wiped SoftwareDistribution, run WU troubleshooter, tried manual install of the update - all no luck.

Incredibly frustrating, especially with no meaningful error message/explanation!

I'd read previously about doing a Windows reset, but then some places say that since the Anniversary Update this potentially loses existing installed programs?

What's with all the errors? I haven't encountered not ONE!

Consider myself lucky I guess...

I have one more with more recent dates...

Frankly I am just shrugging for now... tried a few things, see my linked post above... it is downloading AGAIN as I type this.

That's unacceptable. Have you tried the Troubleshooter for Windows Updates? Just a shot in the dark.
I can't think of anything. Maybe Uninstall the update before 3986 and let it re-install both.
Head scratcher for sure.

4th time was the charm...hehe.
If it didn't work this time I was going to try Offline. I downloaded the update in preparation for it but turned out I didn't need it.
But...getting a Security Client Error dialog box on boot-up.
Going to investigate that.
Thanks Scotty.

Update: Apparently the error dialog box referred to a "Service Registration Missing or Corrupt" error.
I ran the Troubleshooter for Windows Updates and it said it "fixed" it.
dialog box still displays at boot.

I am still getting this error Dialog Box at bootup. Any idea why?
