we generally release ISOs for Slow ring builds, but you could try checking on WU again.

Windows Update has tried many times to download and install Build 16176, all with the same result - it gets to about 90% then says "Some updates were cancelled. We'll keep trying in case new updates become available.". No reason why and I have tried all the tricks posted on various sites, none have resolved the issue.  

 

Can't see the reason for not posting the ISO.

      My machine is trying to install 16179, have tried it about 10 times now and returned various failure codes, not sure what is causing it, had a look on our firewall is downlaoding from various locations, some in US and some in NZ (akamai) and eventually gives up. Initializing updates takes for ever, somtimes it even starts to download, had a download complete 100% this morning and then it started over again.

      Would be realy handy if we could just download ISO's as that is a process that is very easy to control/check, you either get it or you don't, less FUZZY than via windows update, no need to delete reg key's, clear software distribution folder, realy keen to contribute but it is just getting to difficult with these sort of issues, thanks

        thanks for the feedback Adri. We don't release ISOs for each Fast Ring, we generally release them for Slow Ring. Most users are going to be upgrading via WU not using media ISOs so you're testing the upgrade infrastructure in the cloud and client side. Thanks for being a Windows Insider!

      As stated previously - I have tried all the suggested fixes.  None have worked.  Even Windows Update Repair.  The update gets to 99% and stays there for 5-10 minutes and finely gives the error.

       

      Also, it initilaizes for a long time before it even starts to download.

        C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

         

        Delete everything in that folder, reboot, and re-download the update.

         

        Can you also please file feedback for this through Feedback Hub and send us the link so we can take a look at the underlying issue.
