You may find that the "winver" did not able to find the build version number in Windows 10 LTSB 2015 (10240), it will show (Build 10240), you cannot find the full OS Build version like 10240.1xxxx which is you able to find in the other Windows 10 Edition like Home and Pro.
There are alternative way to find the full OS Build version number:
Run a command in command prompt:
reg.exe query "HKLM\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\currentversion" /v BuildLabEx
This example will show you the full OS build version is 10240.17184

10. Open the “updates.xml” by notepad and copy all text inside
Remark: You need to make sure all line being copied. Since the line and content in the files (updates.xml) may over the limit of VMware vSphere client able to copy, you need to check your result in file size very carefully. (I copy all text by separate the file into different parts – I did not copy all line in one time)
11. Paste all text into a file which is on your machine and rename it to “updates.xml”
12. Download the “Getupdate.ps1” from https://deploywindows.info/2015/01/22/automate-mbsa-scan-and-download-missing-patches/ or

Modify the line 31, to remove the “#” and save the file to “Getupdate.ps1”
Copy the Run the “updates.xml” and “Getupdate.ps1” into the C:\temp and run the “Getupdate.ps1” under PowerShell to download all necessary hotfix, patch….
Remark: If you running the download from Windows 7 machine, you will need to upgrade your PowerShell verison 5 (By download and install Windows Management Framework 5.0 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50395)
