Can't update the build 16288.1 (rs3-release)
So this fixed it for me..
I noticed in the error log that some elements of languages was missing and caused a failure. Based on fact that a high percentage of users reporting this issue are from Eurppean locations, I concluded that the issue was a language issue.
My second thought was Microsoft are American - so only America exists (especially post Trump), right.. And no one in the world would consider removing Aerican language packs, would they... (;->)
So I checked my language settings and noted I had removed America from the Languages, Keyboards etc. (probably on a CIA watch list now).
This was all remedied by adding USA language Pack + handwriting + speech + keyboard back onto my system. For good measure I also made sure all elements of the UK English language were present (So do same for German etc).
Reboot and retry the update to 16288.1 - if it gets to 14% you are winning...
I may just have got lucky - but this is the 20th time I tried to install... and it worked after undertaking above steps....

- I think the political issue is not related to this issue
True enough - often see large organistaions presuming no one would remove the default US settings.. As this seems to have fixed for some people glad I posted, and only wish solving the political issues was as simple as installing the American language pack (;->)
- Interesting observation - I removed the American Language pack and this issue affected me. I had remedied the error prior to seeing this reply. You might be onto something.
Hats off to you Andrew.
I added English-US language to my UK-English installation, and then update 16288.1 just sailed through.
Same for me, installing US-English language made it work on my second machine, the Surface Pro 4.
Thanks a lot, Andrew! I changed my OS language to English (US) and it worked.
