FWIW
@DL I see you queried in another thread about excessive internet usage etc.
It looks like the W10 download is a around 5GBdepending where you read (per device) so perhaps this is connected?
EDIT: Since I read this thread I see it's started mentioning the download.
I have been reading this on forbes.com:
That said the size of the download has also prompted some users on capped broadband plans to complain that they have no control over when the new operating system downloads. Something which is also a complaint with its forced automatic updates once up and running.

So you've manually reset update following all of the steps from the link (NOT the automatic reset option)?
It shouldn't be erroring on the same updates, because a full and complete reset will cause it to reassess ALL updates already applied, and download any not installed as a fresh update. Essentially, you'd be deleting the manifest and rebuilding it restarting the services and reacquiring any "new" (i.e. not installed yet) updates.
That means it would need to download the 3Gb install for Windows 10 again...
"The Automatically diagnose and fix common problems with Windows Update troubleshooter may automatically fix the problem described in this article.
This is the one I've run three times ... I presume Automatic means just that. I haven't done a manual reset.[/i]
Yup, the key part here is "MAY fix common problems..."
The next step is to follow the procedure to manually reset.

Troubleshooter's not going to cut it. you likely need to RESET WINDOWS UPDATE to resolve this...
Neither is Reset Windows Update ... have run it three times! It's the same as Windows Update Troubleshooter. Same problems found and fixed, the system time is spot on as well.[/i]

Afternoon.
Haven't been on my PC or Laptop for a few days so I need to check. Nothing as yet on my Windows Tablet either, but I many not have enough disc space for it on that.

[i]You'd normally see all kinds of other errors if this was wrong, but is your system time set correctly?
Try resetting Windows update as per my previous post too. Solved no end of problems when I had to do it once before.
Exactly, but all other updates during the dates mentioned have been successful. Have run Windows Updater Troublshooter twice in the last 3/4 hours.[/i]

It shouldn't even have tried to install on 28th, as the upgrade was only available from yesterday, so that does suggest something fairly fundamentally wrong with your set up.
I know and that is what is strange.
"Upgrade to Windows 10 Home
Installation date: 30/07/2015 12:25
Installation status: Failed

Upon a quick Google of the error code, it seems that updating your graphics card drivers or installing any lingering "optional" updates will also clear the problem. I'm inclined to think that if you were to "force" any other update first it would clear the Windows 10 install to launch.
