I have just reimaged my laptop as I was having a few issues with it and not reimaged for a while.
The image worked fine and then I set about installing windows updates.
However, it keeps failing to install this update.
I have tried to reboot several times
stopped and started the windows update service
deleted what I can from the Software Distribution folder
help please
Thanks Bart

Yep... In-Place Upgrade fixes those pesky Windows problems.
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
Here is the short version of the In-place upgrade tutorial...
DISABLE non-Microsoft:
a) antivirus software
b) firewall software
c) drive encryption software
Make a full OS backup with a program like Macrium Reflect (free)
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
Go here and get the Media Creation Tool and save it to your desktop.

RUN the Media Creation Tool and use it to: Create an ISO image... save IT to your desktop.
This will be the latest version of the ISO image.
The ISO must be created in the same language as you are using in Windows, to be able to keep your Programs and Files.
Right click the ISO image and choose: MOUNT
Open File Explorer and you will see a new drive letter. It will "look" like a DVD optical drive.
Double click the new drive letter to open it.
Find setup.exe and double click it to start the in-place upgrade.
Choose the Keep personal files and apps option.
After it's all done... to UNmount the ISO image, right click the new drive letter and choose: EJECT.
The ONLY thing you will lose is some of your personalizations. Your programs and data will be intact.
