It happens from time to time that a single software update is failing during the installation phase. 

To remove the update from the deployment you can:

1. Identify the update by reviewing the updatesdeployment.log on one the clients. If the deployment process is visible, you can also identify the failure by looking at the Updates installation status.
2. Remove the update from the Update Management list
   1. You can see which update lists the update is part of by looking at the updates properties in the Config Mgr. console
      
      
   2. Navigate to the Deployment Management node, select the Deployment management list. Select the update and delete it from the list.
      
       
3. Client will automatically remove the update from the deployment cycle after a machine policy refresh.
