Can't update the build 16288.1 (rs3-release)
When update the new build 16288, I get the notice "An update is being prepared for your device, but it's not quite ready yet. We'll keep trying or you can try again now" (with error 0x80240034)
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....

Thanks a lot, Andrew! I changed my OS language to English (US) and it worked.
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.
- 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.
