windows - Cannot update to 1511

Windows keeps failing to update my Windows 10 version to version 1511.




According to this forum post I should just run:



dism /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\c4a1b8896ce9fbfea96c1ee6890d52a5\windows10.0-kb3122947-x64.cab


I did and got:




An error occurred trying to open -

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\c4a1b8896ce9fbfea96c1ee6890d52a5\windows10.0-kb3122947-x64.cab
Error: 0x80070003 Error: 3




The problem is that the directory C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\c4a1b8896ce9fbfea96c1ee6890d52a5\ does not even exist.



What should I do?



It seems that windows have been trying to update this since July.




But always fail.



So yea the update is 8 months old but the first time windows try to update this is in July 2016

The issue is not simply that the update "fails". The issue is that windows do not bother downloading the update at all.



I restart computer in safemode. Delete the content of C:\windows\softwaredistribution\download and try again.




This is the content of the folder now

I've heard I can download some ISO. I looked around and try to find where I can download ISO for 1511 and I can't find one. There are some similar questions but the link points to nonworking links
This link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 for example, simply shows empty screen on my screen.
