Windows 10 update KB3081424 not installing for some, no official solution yet

http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-...-installing-for-some-no-official-solution-yet

I seen this issue on a new HP laptop I got my wife and I had to do a clean restore back to 8.1 then install Windows 10 again I have not gotten to this update yet so hopefully this time it will install. Some have said it's a issue with a bad profile some with left over nvidia drivers so forth but anyway keep a eye out for it to make sure it installs correctly.
