Today [15]

My scheduled re-installation of windows has been stopped because of a whopping over 200+ updates.

My last clean install went pretty smooth
There are really only 159 impotent updates
This process really helped :)
Before you start download KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance, and store them on a flash drive
Start and complete the install without an internet connection
Immediately after install is complete
Manually install KB3083710 and restart.
Manually install KB3102810 and restart.
Change your windows update settings I used Check for updates but let me decide when to download and install
Unchecked Give me recommended updates the same....

Restore the Internet connection and Activate windows
Then launch Windows Update search
After about 5-10 minutes you should have plenty of updates to download and install.

Another thing is if you see this update make sure it is not installed with any other updates
It needs to be installed all by it's self
It was not uncheck automatically which caused many others to fail to install

I may get a new Samsung 850 pro 256gb and clean install again my rma'ed Crucial mx100 256gb is acting weird :/

I recently bought one to keep my "old" 128GB Crucial as a backup. Transferred with a Macrium image and things are running fine. The benchmarks are better but I cannot notice any significant performance difference.

Yea the 250gb 850 evo is looking a lot better at about 88.us verses the pro at 120.us :/

That process took 3 times to get it right Thelma
This little update screwed me up twice installing with other updates or in the first round

Spotted dick is a never ending source of hilarity.
