Windows 10 Insider Preview 17723.1000 (rs5_release) restart required -- does not install

Same problem here, but solved it deleting all files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and running this script https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Reset-Windows-Update-Agent-d824badc
Thanks for your reply. I want to clarify that I did not delete files from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download myself before running the Option 2 of Reset Windows Update Agent command script. The Option 2 of Reset Windows Update Agent command script. did remove the downloaded files from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download.
Hm, I don't see that delete command in :components section of the script for Option 2 (or in any other section, in fact). At any rate, I had success when I manually deleted all files in the specified directory before running the script. As I say, it seems to have "taken," too, preventing subsequent hang-ups.

I have tried this solution unfortunately without success, I am running a Samsung Galaxy TAB pro S
with build 17692_RS5 and it askes me daily to restart, I have manually removed the temp files, manually rebooted and through the script. the most frustrating is that I can't seem to upgrade from this version since it requires a reboot to finalize this install... any suggestions other than a full reinstallation :)
