Microsoft has released Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1607 (KB3189866) and is available for download via the Window Update. For some, the update download was stuck at some figure. Instead of relying on Windows Update, you can visit Microsoft Update Catalog site in Internet Explorer, search for that Update, download and install on your computer without wasting time, here is how that can be done.

After the restart, visit Settings > Update & Security and check ‘Update History’ to know about the KB3189866 installation status.
UPDATE: Those who don’t want to download the update by visiting Update Catalog site in IE, can use the direct offline links mentioned below. Thanks to SS and steve.
“…click on the Download button, browse and choose the download location for updates to be downloaded to your computer…” How do I know what location to choose for downloading updates to my computer?
You can navigate to a location on your computer and select that could be any: desktop or folder in any drive, when you click browse.
Why do you suggest IE for downloading this update? This is just an .msu file that you can download using any browser
Nonetheless MS always sucks at win 10 update. Ate all my bandwidth and stuck at 95%.
god damn it. Screw MS
Its not me suggesting, that’s only option left to download Windows updates in standalone fashion from Microsoft Update Catalog site till now as that site requires ActiveX control to be installed to run.
Appreciate your response. However note that they can be directly downloaded here –

Thanks for sharing these.
Thanks for the links to the Update Fix. So I get around the IE, I do not want to activate. I finally got the proper update and you a Newsletter-Abo :)
After downloaded update and ran it, I got the pop up with the following:
Windows Update Standalone Installer
Installer encountered an error: 0x800706be
The remote procedure call failed.
Thoughts? Help?
Thanks
