Note: this update replaces previous 14393.x updates).
If you check Windows Update however then, you will notice that it is not offered through Windows Update. The update is not found, and it appears to be made available exclusively through Microsoft Update Catalog.

It is a bit puzzling, as Microsoft offers no explanation why that is the case. Anyway, you can download the update for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10 from the Microsoft Update Catalog website:

• Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3216755), has a size of 1046.7 Megabyte
• Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 (KB3216755), has a size of 562.9 Megabyte.

I received KB3216755 and KB3211320 together on the January 25th through WU and both installed on my desktop, laptop and tablet without issue.

According to this, it was an insider-only release, and it does have bugs. Maybe this was their way of making it available to people who really, really wanted it.

Will it be a sign of things to come? That's anyone's guess
