Hi Superfly,
I appreciate your follow-up. I went and played around with trying to load the .cab file but fell on my face.
So for now I am just going to sit back and hope for a fix from Microsoft.
Rest assured all your effort was not in vain. I didn't solve my update problem but I did learn a lot.
Thanks and regards,

Hi everyone,
I have one more thought I would like to throw out on the failure of my computer to allow any Cumulative Updates since KB3176938 was successfully installed on Sept. 1.
I 'googled' this particular KB and discovered it had caused more than one problem with other users too.
What are the chances that when it was installed on my computer that it messed up some setting which now doesn't allow me to install any other Cumulative Updates? If I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it would it be possible it could correct anything that might have happened when it was originally installed on my computer and enable me to install the current Cumulative update (KB3193494) and the two previous ones which have been failing for the last several days?
Even if this procedure didn't work would uninstalling and then reinstalling KB3176938 mess up my settings more than they are right now?
Thanks and regards,

Hi Bree,
What I am trying to ask (and not doing a very good job of it ...lol) is if I would uninstall KB3176938 and discover I still couldn't install the latest Cumulative Update do you think I would be able to reinstall KB3176938 without any further problems above what I already have when it comes to using Windows update?
Thanks and regards,

I've been unable to update for about 4 weeks "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3185614) - Error 0x80070005"
System:Windows 10 Home(64 bit )
Installation time:11/29/2015 23:40:50
CPU:Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3227U CPU @ 1.90GHz
Memory:4096 MB DDR3 SDRAM 0
Disk:500 GB
Display adapter:Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Motherboard:SONY CORPORATION VAIO(Intel Ivy Bridge)
Monitor:15.4 inch, 1920 x 1080
Would the same solution apply?
That Access Denied error pops-up everywhere - I'd like to see the MS dev's troubleshoot that obscure stuff.
Either way, with permissions errors, it's best to run sfc /scannow - and then say a whole bunch of Hail Mary's or something - hopefully it will restore and verify the files being overwritten by the update.
Hi again,
Just in case anyone is still following this post I will update you on the latest.
This evening I got a message in Windows Update that I had updates to download and install. They were:
(1) A new Cumulative Update KB3194798
(2) Windows Malicious Software Removable Tool KB890830
(3) Security Update Microsoft Silverlight KB3193713 and
(4) Security Update Adobe Flash Player KB3194343
Number (1) failed like the previous three Cumulative Updates on my machine while (2), (3) and (4) installed successfully.
Why is it that just the Cumulative updates fail and all the other Microsoft and Windows Updates are installed successfully?
Is there any chance that my last successful Cumulative Update KB3176938 on Sept. 1 could have done something to my settings to cause all the Cumulative Updates after it to fail?
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks and regards,
2harts4ever
If you're having trouble with Windows update, give WUMT a try before going down the error code rabbit hole.
If your still having troubles, doing a "repair install" really is a quick & easy failsafe method to get everything working again: Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Forums
