Download Media Creation Tool from Microsoft site, and use it to update your Windows. I had the same issue, Windows built-in update could not do the job. This tool did. Why this works and the built-in update doesn't is beyond me...

Download Media Creation Tool @ http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209

Download Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (RS1) image to 8GB USB pendrive, either x86, x64 or both.

Download KB3194798 October 2016 Cumulative update, put it on USB in update folder.

x64 : http://download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/software/secu/2016/10/windows10.0-kb3194798-x64_8bc6befc7b3c51f94ae70b8d1d9a249bb4b5e108.msu
x86 : http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/msdownload/update/software/secu/2016/10/windows10.0-kb3194798-x86_30ca81056fa468110773767f5b3de65711809c90.msu

Now open command prompt as admin and stop Windows Update Service, don't worry if it's not running.

net stop wuauserv

Delete anything found within ..

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
C:\WUDownloadCache

Now run the setup from USB and update your windows, it can take awhile and a few automatic reboots.
When back at desktop, run the update and reboot.

When you are happy run Disk Clean-up - "Clean Up System Files" to remove old version of windows and backups, you can get massive amount of space back !

I spent 3 days trying to do the Anniversary update! It kept getting stuck at 99%. Then decided to disable antvirus (Norton) and hey presto! It did the update in a few hours! Dont forget to reset anti virus though! May be worth a try!
