Research direction
Reproduce the failure using the listed uninstall, reinstall, restart, and repeated Update snippets menu steps, then start from the menu action that performs the update. Trace the failure handling and make the log identify the cause instead of only reporting "Update failed." Done when the repeated update no longer produces an uninformative error.
