    2019-04 Cumulative Update KB4495667 stuck in restart to finish

    My Pc runs Windows 10 Home 64 Bit v 1809

    I noticed that Windows Update has had indigestion with the latest Cumulative Update (2019-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 v 1809 for x 64 bases systems KB4495667) which is stuck Requiring a restart to finish installing.

    I have restarted several times with no luck.

    Have also run the Trouble Shooter which could not identify the problem.

    I then checked for updates in case it would offer it again, but all that was listed was 2019-02 Cumulative Update for NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 KB4486553 which has Successfully installed.

    KB4495667 still refusing to do so.

    I have downloaded it from from the Windows Update Catalogue ... file windows10.0-kb4495667-x64_a0713c961b994da102ee4a300d2f571ec567af20.msu

    What is the safest thing to do now, do I just double click to install it?

    I am no computer expert so will need easy to follow steps.

    Fall Creators Update requires Restart to Finish installing

    I had this same "Requires restart to finish installing" problem. I cleaned up the installer folder from the OS drive and downloaded the media creation tool from Download Windows 10

    The chose the 'update now' option ( instead of creating the install media) , and this worked.

    It took a while, but the the OS is now version 1709 ( 16299.64)

    @ Monica Cam: if it helps: before the update that got stuck in the "Requires restart to finish installing" phase there was one failed update. The update history is now erased so I do not have the error messages of that occurrence
