[FIX]Windows 10 Anniversary Update error 0X80070057

Solution
Generally error code 80070057 signals corruption of Windows update files (Source) but looks like this isn’t the case here.

So to get the Anniversary update, use an Alternate called Media creation tool which is present on the same page of the Windows 10 Software download as shown:
You can use this direct link
After downloading the tool, accept the license terms and click upgrade this PC now, windows would automatically Install the Anniversary update.For a detailed explaination see this article:
Personally I find MCT more reliable than the upgrade assistant as well as it also allows saving the Installation file if you want.
