Here's the fix (at least it worked for me!)
1. Delete the folder C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\XblGameSave on the system. Please note that you can only do so with elevated privileges.
2. Delete the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\XblGameSave

@haabe sorry but what is Xbox live gotta do with this?

@masterakay I have absolutely no clue, other than that deleting the folder and registry key from Windows 10 fixed the endless install failure loop.
-
@haabe That's assuming it is actually doing that, which it doesn't look like it is.

@drRoss install log says it failed installing the update multiple times in the last couple of days. When I did the fix, as described, it installed flawlessly right away. And that was the only thing I did to my computer at the time.
Of course it could be a coincidence. But I don't see any other viable solution to why. -
Thanks for all your comments and ++.
@haabe It did not loop in this situation, but it did take an hour due to the update being a major one with visual updates as well. -
@aaxa Lol, no. They obviously won't.
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
Thanks to Microsoft and Windows for making my work day one hour shorter. FUCK OFF WITH THIS FORCED UPDATE/RESTART SHIT!!!! Who the fuck in Microsoft thought that this was a smart idea? Fucking assholes. And yes, I did tell it to only update outside office hours. Doesn't work apparently.
Luckily it's easy to explain to my boss why I had one hour of not being productive.
