Excellent News @JakeXPMan ... Really happy that the install went through.
The updates themselves should hopefully go without any further problems...
If for any reason they do not then post back to this thread and we will solve any issues

There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help:

• Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3176929) - Error 0x80246002

I already have the Anniv Update installed, but Windows Update keeps offering it to me, and fails.

I guess this calls for a clean installation or reset.

@XhenEd ..
Hold off from resorting to a clean install or reset...there may be a way to repair this
There is a possibilty that due to the corruption of a few files that windows update is trapped in a cycle.

Have you tried using the ..
SFC command utility

Remember to create a system restore point or back up first.

Clean install is the best choice; lot of space gained compare to reset

I feel for anyone that has to deal with this nonsense, but of course, there is the clean install OS option.

What can I tell ya... it sucks, but the net result is you have a refreshed system and just disable Windows Update service.

If I find a way to get Enterprise or Enterprise LTSB activated, then I'm gonna share it with e-v-e-r-y-b-u-d-d-y...................

It appears from online reports that even with clean install OS, AU is creating all sorts of problems.

Thank this guy:

The windows 10 seems all here, it just my internet connection and anything that has to do with adapter drivers is not working right, and the troubleshoot wasnt able to fix. Cannot access Wi-fi. It says No internet - secured

I can try to hook up Ethernet cable try a connection and fix, or ... go to a driver backup folder and see if that one works...

@JakeXPMan ...
I found a few cases online where this happened to others..
In those cases (for some reason) the update disabled IP protocols...Their issue was fixed after doing the follow...

Make sure the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are enabled:

• Go to Advanced Network settings
• Go to Network and Sharing Centre
• Go to Change Adapter Settings
• Select Properties for the Wifi Adapter (right-click your connection)
• Make sure the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are selected

This may not be the reason,but it is a good place to start.

After Windows 7 and now Windows 10 somehow you need to update your username.

ohh yeah, a lot happened in windows since april 2014. the sluggish boot and apps might be the windows updates downloading up.

Thanks!
I'll try that first, then if that still fails, I'll do a clean install (or reset, due to the important files present).
