I'm facing a very annoying Problem. I can't install the Windows 10 Update KB3156421.
It tries to reinstall at startup (after Bios) -> Restart -> Update couldn't be installed, deinstall Update -> Restart x2
(don't know the correct words in english)
Even If I use Hibernate it tries to update at next turn on and it takes like 10min until I'm in windows.
I already said in the Windows options to wait with updates but it still updates and fails.
Any ides how to solve or block it?

Its a known issue, google it.
My humble recommendation - skip Win10 altogether, your not missing much beyond a new but useless interface.

No way! Win10 gave me my built in expose-alike and virtual desktops!

Sadly Google didnt help me. I need windows in safe mode but I can't deinstall the update there because until I get there win already reverted back.
And I can't block the update because the update menu instantly closes in safe mode :-S

It's not entirely the same situation, but I had a Windows 10 update that just wouldn't install, even after I rolled back to a restore point. None of the obvious solutions helped. In the end I got in touch with Microsoft Support and they helped me, with a real human being (or a very convincing bot) helping me install the update manually. The whole thing took ~45 minutes, but since then everything's been running smoothly. The woman from the support team was friendly, clear and helpful. For all the shit that's flung at Microsoft, I was impressed with the support I received.
(One thing I hate, though, and that isn't exclusive to Microsoft: fewer and fewer companies seem to have an e-mail address for support. It's all Twitter, live chat and telephone. I'm okay with the latter two being the only feasible options in some cases, but when something goes on the fritz before I'm off to work or to bed, I very much prefer sending off an e-mail so when I get back or get up in the morning I might have a reply suggesting next steps, rather than having to wait a day or two before I actually have time to call or chat.)
