Windows 10: Microsoft Windows updates fails and makes Microsoft Office stop working in the process

After several issues, I followed a Microsoft recommendation to try a complete system reset to like new setup. This installed Windows 10 Home, version 1709, build 16299.1087 on a HP laptop 17-ak0xx, Initially, all software, including Microsoft Office 2016 which I purchased with the computer, worked like it did when it was new. After confirming everything worked, I let the computer sit for about 24 hours, and rebooting when necessary to allow all the updates to process. After rebooting for the "Feature update to Windows 10, version 20H2" update, I note the error "Failed to install on 3/16

Microsoft Confirms Windows, Office 6-Month Update Cycle

Microsoft has been steadily increasing stability, features and, the company hopes, attractiveness of its latest Windows 10 operating system. Recently, its Creator's Update has brought, among other features, a performance-boosting Game Mode, a 3D version of the popular and (respectably ancient) Paint app, as well as increased privacy control, something users clamored for. Now, the Redmond company has confirmed that it's looking towards a six month update cycle for Windows 10 (thus aligning it with Office 365 ProPlus), looking to streamline and increase predictability of its support.

Microsoft released the Windows 10 Anniversary Update in August 2016, and the Creators Update made its public debut on April 11 2017, which is already close to the six-month update cycle the company is now confirming (seven months, in this case.) Now the company has confirmed that it plans to release its next step on the Windows 10 operating system on September 2017. From then on, updates should arrive in a steady cadence, on every subsequent March and September. Each Windows 10 feature release will be serviced and supported for 18 months, as is currently the case, and the company has also added that its System Center Configuration Manager will support this new aligned update model for Office 365 ProPlus and Windows 10, "making both easier to deploy and keep up to date."
