Did you get CU rev 170624-1334? I was forced to install it a few days ago.
It works fine, except for one minor irritation in Edge:
If you click on a link that's supposed to open a page on a new tab, it works - once. The second time it will open a completely blank page on the new tab, while the page you expected to see, opens on the previous tab. Ah well. 
By the way: My install got stuck for about an hour, at around 80% progress. I did the unthinkable: I forced a restart, and then the install was suddenly complete. Don't try this at home!

It appears to be version 1703. I still don't use Edge despite their repeated efforts to convince me otherwise...mostly for incompatibility issues with SSRS, something they may have fixed with SSRS 2016. I'll find out next week after the server migration as it unfortunately won't run on server 2008. It was time for an update anyway.

I have three new Windows 10 HP laptops side by side and each one of them has different issues with windows update. including forcing me to uninstall the anti-virus so it can complete!!

Odd, I had no problems with the patches. Wait - I'm running Win7.

+5 for the humor!
On a serious note, it gives me a chance to explain why in the heck I would even install this thing called Windows 10 and submit to it's update nagging on my daily machine. The biggest reason is that if I'm getting these updates, at least some of my clients will be getting them as well. (not to mention family) If an update breaks my software, I'd like to know as soon as possible. In the case of family, I have some in-laws who will call and ask my opinion about such things as major updates, and especially installers that seem to hang...if I don't answer correctly, it might possibly mean more unpaid work for me down the road!

Mine: had a notice that it was unable to install some updates, click here to see more info...and nowhere in the 'more info' did it show any non-installed updates.

question for the lemmings:
is it possible to instead download the latest full w10 ISO and do an upgrade?
If you're talking about a couple of hours to do upgrades with multiple reboots surely one-time full upgrade would be much faster and ensure nothing missed or semi-rolled back 1 week earlier for some minor glitch.
Sin tack
the any key okay

envirginate: (v) the process of restoring a system to its 'virgin' state, in preparation for installing an application that is breaking things. See also flush-and-fill(*)
(yes, we actually use this term in polite conversation)
(*) we build commercial ink-jet systems; refers to replacing all the ink in a machine

So, after refilling, the printer is a virgin (state) again?

In this case, it's the "flush-and-fill" process as applied to the system controller's hard drive: format the disk, load the factory default system image, install the proper version of the controller application.

Which still means your apparatus has been used before. "Resetting" might be a better description.

As I always suspected -- Inkjet printer software is an application that breaks things. Explains why my printer is always fritzing out.

An interesting etymology for "on the fritz:" [^] ... from which I think Marc extrapolated the adjectival present participle form.
«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J. Swift, 'Gulliver's Travels,' 1726CE

That's because I verbed the word "fritz", as in, "on the fritz."

When you're printing at 11 feet of paper per second[^], breaking things develops a whole new meaning.

11 feet of paper per second.
The point being, it sounded like you were installing an application that breaks things.
