Folks:

I have successfully upgraded the tablet with Windows 10 (1709.) However, I could not use Windows Update to install the 2018-01 Cumulative Update (KB4056892.) After each update attempt, I am always being prompted to "restart now". But after each reboot, I get a notice "We couldn't finish installing updates."

After reviewing what items were failing. I found that the Adobe Flash Update and the Cumulative Update were failing. I went ahead and downloaded and installed the Flash player successfully. In addition, I downloaded the cumulative update file independently and successfully updated the tablet. Reboot, I did not get any failure message.

Now, I went back to the Settings>Windows Update>Update Status, however, I am getting the message as if the update was not installed and awaiting restart. I can reboot the tablet, again, but the message of failure and not updated persist as though I have not done any upgrade at all. Now I am getting the "We couldn't finish installing updates."

Is it the Venue 8 Pro 5830, the Atom CPU, or other? What gives?

Edit: From a thread I found at Microsoft, I ran the following:

"
1. Type cmd in the search bar.
2. Right click and select "run as administrator"
3. Copy the following command and press enter after each line:

net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
net start wuauserv

Restart when complete. "

That removes the persistent update error message but when I check for Windows Update, I do get a message that indicating I have the, aforementioned, cumulative update available!

What gives?
