A few months ago this error appeared for a Windows 10 update:

***************

There have been problems installing some updates, we'll try again later. If you still see this message and want to search the web or contact the technical support service for more information, this can be helpful:

• Cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based systems (KB3206632)

***************

Whenever I turned on my laptop, Windows Update tried to install this update, this error always appeared. Now I do not see this, but I did see a similar error with the update KB3213986, trying to install it repeatedly but with the same result that there was an error and with the option to retry. Currently I see 2 updates with error, I copy them below:

******************

This already has me quite upset, since when trying to update my laptop overheats, now I realized that I can not update the Nvidia driver either, apparently because the Windows Update updates are pending. My laptop is a HP ENVY 15-q002la Notebook PC, 12 GB of RAM, 2 GB of Nvidia video, Intel Core I7 processor, which I initially bought with Windows 8.1 but was upgraded to Windows 10.

I will be very grateful if you can solve my problem.
