I'm one of apparently a number of people who continually have problems installing any cumulative Windows 10 update package. I've tried the last three without success. I am running Windows 10 Professional 64-bit, version 1607, build 14393.222, 16 GB RAM
Symptom: The update seems to work, even reaching the end of the progress bar, but then it says "failed to install." I did run the Windows Update troubleshooter, and scannow. The troubleshooter did fix a problem with the update database, but that did not solve my problem. Scannow showed no errors. I've manually downloaded the updates, but that doesn't help. I'm technical enough to try various fixes if anyone can help me diagnose this. I really don't want to reinstall the OS!
Event viewer: Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8E5E03FA: Security Update for Windows (KB3206632).
The very end of the CBS log shows where the problems begin:
