My Windows 10 machine has been failing on the latest Windows update, and I finally tracked down why.

Apparently it's as basic as Start Menu items not being where Windows expects them.

But there's an easy fix:

  1. Right click on "Command prompt". Select "Run as Administrator"
  2. In the command window type run the System File Checker by typing in: sfc /scannow
  3. Wait a few minutes while it completes.
  4. Close the command window.
  5. Retry the system update.

        It worked for me, though you'll want to move the items back where they were if you'd moved them before.

        Info found here.

        Yes, Microsoft has unnecessarily protected plain shortcuts in the Start Menu with ACLs and if they're moved or deleted, it detects it as a system integrity violation.
