Luc Marcil says
I had Windows 10, 64 Bits, version 1607 completely updated installed on my Bootcamp partition before attempting to update to version 1703, using the Windows Update Center. I have the latest version of Parallel Desktop for Mac. I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD and Mac OS X 10.12.4. I must have tried 3 or 4 times to let Windows update Center attempt to install the version 1703 update while running Windows in Parallel Desktop for Mac, to no avail. I went through the process, restarted when prompted to and the update always failed to install. Then, I decided to boot straight into Windows (Bootcamp), do a chkdsk /b, reboot and go to Microsoft download page and downloaded the update rather than use the update center routine. I then installed it, always while booting straight into Windows at every restart and it worked. I thought I’d share this with you. Good luck to all.
