Getting 0x80070057 in Windows Update when trying to update to Build 17686

Question

Windows Update tries to install the update as usual, and then after a while, I get a download error 0x80070057:

At first I thought this was a storage issue (I had 3 GB of free space at the time), so I moved some of my 'heavy stuff' like anime and software setups to my private LAN file server, and now I have 14.9 GB of free space.

Please help me solve this issue. I really want this build.

generate your [own ISO from the UUP files](https://uup.rg-adguard.net/), mount the ISO, run setup.exe and keep apps + settings when doing the upgrade. — magicandre1981, Jun 20 '18 at 15:03
@magicandre1981 It's downloading a bunch of stuff. I only have 18 GB of disk space left, is this enough for it to do everything? — MythicalCode_, Jun 27 '18 at 09:34

It's fine if I just generate the ISO from the UUP files right? Or will it not work? – MythicalCode_ Jun 30 '18 at 05:48
if you generated the 17704 ISO it should now work. Try it – magicandre1981 Jun 30 '18 at 05:49
I got a lot of errors in the console. Mostly file not found errors, and my ISO file is 3.88 GB. Is this normal? – MythicalCode_ Jun 30 '18 at 06:47
which errors? which cpu type (x86, x64) and which edition have you selected? – magicandre1981 Jun 30 '18 at 06:52
I selected x64. – MythicalCode_ Jun 30 '18 at 07:55
When I try to install it, it's giving a lot of 'run out of disk space' errors. I'm going to try uninstalling a bunch of stuff before giving it another try. – MythicalCode_ Jun 30 '18 at 14:21

That screen doesn't even come for me. And I've installed it now, Microsoft Edge was using 40 GB to store my browsing data, so I cleared it. Now the only problem I have now is I can't use some of the UWP apps. It says the app needs to be registered first. – MythicalCode_ Jul 01 '18 at 03:44

That's the exact website I tried before. Didn't work. – MythicalCode_ Jul 02 '18 at 11:48
