    "we couldn't complete the updates undoing changes"
    then reboots and shows same message, to then get to desktop.

    i7 7700
    24gb RAM
    several drives with enough storage space.
    SSD as boot.

    anyone know the solution?

    google doesn't bring up a solution, but rather just the problem that others also have.

    no I don't get that.
    and its only the home version, so updates cannot be paused.

    Only just seen this, but had a similar issue on my machine at work.

    I remembered reading a while back that there could be an issue installing updates if you have a USB storage system plugged in.
    I had an external hard drive plugged in and probably my phone on charge whenever it was trying to install. I basically unplugged all the non essential USB items from the PC and tried again. It took 2 attempts I think, but it did go on. I always make sure I follow this routine when installing updates and haven't had an issue since.

    Apart from this, it hasn't happened on any other machine I own, but none of them have external drives plugged in.
    Hope you get it sorted
