Windows 10 KB3194496 Fails to Install.
====
A number of people have been having issues with KB3194496 update failing to install. You'll see something like this in Windows Update:
Fortunately, it's pretty easy to fix.
Firstly, find this folder and delete it:
C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\XblGameSave
Next, using RegEdt32 (I.e. Registry Editor), find and delete this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\XblGameSave.
Reboot your machine and you should now be able to install it without any problems.
EDITED to add - Microsoft have now issued a script update that will do the above for you. See here:
