Win10 Anniversary Update fails, but no error code.

[Windows Central Question]

Hi

Checking update history shows no errors, just the update waiting to be installed.

Here's what happens: update goes all the way through to the end, then it hangs with a black screen with the little dots going round and will sit like that for as long as I'll let it. There's no hard drive activity during this period.

When I eventually get bored of waiting, I do a hard reboot and the previous version is reinstated.

Any ideas how to move on from this?
