? System Firmware Update - ‎7/‎23/‎2015 - Error 0x80246013

same with me. wow, first real issue ive had on my SP3 with W10TP/RTM. not bad for something that's not officially released
 
weirdly, the event log shows 2 errors.

same error number. but for "Microsoft - Audio Device - Microsoft Docking Station Audio Device" as well as "System Firmware Update - 23/07/2015"

I don't have a docking station, nor has the machine been plugged into one.
 
Same here. The first time my Intel HD driver update bluescreen and then rebooted. Then it installed ok. Now just the firmware update won't install.
 
Getting Intel driver error in event log with this update:

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246013: Intel - Other hardware - Intel(R) 8 Series SMBus Controller - 9C22.

Same here.

I suspect that when they tested it, they did so on a machine with all of the optional peripherals connected, and it is failing when you don't have one of them.
 
Same error on my Surface Pro 3.

I had the same problem last night too, over and over no matter how many times I clicked retry. But this morning if finally resolved itself all on it's own. This time when I clicked it went through without a hitch or error message.
 
KB3074680 fixed the update. Installed it which required a reboot, one more reboot then the System Firmware Update 7/23/2015 took.
