It's not an iso I need. I don't plan a clean install.
Today I have had 2 failed update attempts the last one hung at 1% downloading for 90 minutes. I have cleared the update cache and tried again. Stopped and restarted services. Rebooted etc... nothing worked. So now I have downloaded and run the show or hide updates tool to hide it. After 2 fails yesterday and 2 today windows has beat me.
Thanks for the help all the same. ☺
You do not understand. Download iso, mount it as a drive, and run setup.exe to upgrade.
You only need to download it once.

Exactly what I did on my 2nd & 3rd machines. ISO was created from the 1st machine after the update.

Total failure, download went well and install to 100% then restart and then a total boot failure with bios boot looping will not see c drive at all

I couldn't get the FCU when I checked for updates. So, I went directly to Microsoft's Official site and clicked on "Update now". From there, everything went really smooth for both of my PCs. The only issue so far was to re-import my bookmarks In Edge. Below is my Winver screenshot:

Downloaded the ISO and updated without incident.

FYI
As we live in an "I want it NOW!!!" society the roll out of the FCU, ( Fall Creators Update), Is placing a lot of strain on the available servers at Microsoft and their Partners, which is why Microsoft have decided ( as they have will all major updates recently], to apply a Staggered roll out policy under Windows Update.
Those of you
with multiple devices may want to turn on
Delivery Optimisation ( found in the Update Advanced options) and set it to pick up updates
from your local LAN as well as the Microsoft servers, this will mean that when possible a system will update from another of your systems on the LAN and not have to contact the overloaded servers.
Once the update is over you can switch this off, or leave it on to speed up general future Windows Update Delivery, and also reduce internet bandwidth usage ( and Possible costs )
I started a download the MCT last night while all was quiet, changed power not to shut off, then left it to its own devices. This morning I was greeted with the fact that the MCT was all done. Now I'll do the two lappies at my leisure.

I prefer to make the USB rather than an ISO (it means I have bootable media for a repair/clean install later, if required).
You use a USB the same way as an ISO, plug it in (instead of mounting) and run the Setup from within Windows to upgrade. The only difference is you have to remember to remove the USB at the first reboot. If you don't it boots from the USB instead of continuing the next step in the upgrade.

I get BSOD when updating to 16299.19.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA
This Pc very stable. Happened twice.
No idea why. Can I block the cumulative update?

Very good advice. As usual two thumbs-up !!
So far, the only problem I had (if you can call it that) was that my default and secondary OSes were switched around on this dual boot system.
I changed 'em back and all seems to be working.
