Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB3194798 for Windows 10 PC & Mobile build 14393.321

Following download completion and reboot, I received a blue screen, then rebooted and all seems (keep fingers crossed) fine.

 

My .321 took about 1 hour to download. It stopped at several places. The first pause was so long that I thought the download had hung. After that I just waited for the download to start up after the pauses began. Everything seems to be running fine.

 

Downloaded in about 2 minutes and installing now.

 

Hi,

Mine took 7 minutes to download and install on MSI Gaming Laptop, through WU.

 

First KB update that couldn't install for me since I started Windows 10: "we couldn't complete the updates, undoing changes". Tried it thrice and each time I attempted various changes to see if it would resolve the issue, but all failed. No errors after checking sfc /scannow and no problems with the other updates today, just KB3194798 *Mad.

 

I have been observing the Network activity .. and i noticed a weird or funny thing..

Windows update seems to work (download) even without any sign of activity in the network activity tab

could be a bug in windows 10 or something.. please share your thoughts about it

 

Someone please tell me this update resolves the issue with taskbar always being on top (on main screen) no matter what? :/

 

It's not a real 3.99TB, it's an illusion caused by hard links (NTFS entries that allow multiple directory listings of a single physical copy of a file). These are frequently used in WinSxS to avoid having multiple copies of the same file when it is a part of several updates.

Disk Clean-up, like File Explorer, doesn't seem to check for hard links when calculating sizes. Funilly enough this time round I didn't see this myself, though I did last August, in common with several others.

The update went without a hitch this time.*Smile Maybe because I updated at 12:30 AM when I got home from work.

 

I haven't installed the cumulative update yet but I had installed the Malicious Software Removal Tool update and it took quite sometime to finish.

A little question about the cumulative updates. Are they scanning the system before downloading the necessary files or are they downloading the whole msu thing and then open the index to compare to what is need to be installed?

 

Thanks for the information and link @Bree!
After I ran Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore (which goes really fast as it just analyzes),
I see I don't even need to run WU cleanup now(which even with an SSD can take a while).

Does this update fix the serious missing drive / RAW format bug?

sorry for the f words but i am really upset at ms what the good about a surround system when its sounds like a vhs tape stuck in the machine i am very mad now

 

This latest update is taking a long time to download. So far it has been running for about 3 hours, and has not moved off 64% for over an hour now.

 

I had that happen last night too on my desktop, I just restarted my PC and then immediately checked for updates again, and it went fast after that.
Funny thing is, my laptop updated faster, and with no problems, than my desktop, and I started my laptop, about 10 minutes after*Confused
