Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB4025342 Windows 10 v1703 Build 15063.483

You can get to the advanced settings through the control panel, though I agree the control panel shouldn't be hidden if the Windows 10 settings equivalent is broke.

You can also get there via the Windows 10 settings -> Network & Internet -> Windows Firewall

 

Maybe you should try to reset Windows Firewall with the following command line in a command prompt with admin privilege:

netsh advfirewall reset

Sometimes, that's all it takes to get things back to normal.

 

It's not Windows Firewall that's broken, it's the Windows Defender Security Center. On the 'Firewall & network protection' page there are five blue links near the bottom. The one that should take you to 'Advanced settings' doesn't work. It does (since this update?) produce a UAC prompt, but even if you click 'Yes' nothing happens.

You can get to Advanced settings through Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Firewall, so it's available, just not from the Windows Defender Security Center.

 

How about uninstalling the update (roll back), for this is probably the only way to see if the issue has to do with the recent CU as you have mentioned. After the uninstall, if the problem doesn't reiterate itself, then, we can start from a firm ground into resolving the issue by pausing automatic update in order for it (CU) not to reinstall. That would be a good start until a fix is found..

On the other hand, if the problem still persists, one can start digging a little bit deeper by running dism.exe (restorehealth) or even try a repair upgrade.

 

No, I was saying this problem has always been there and that the recent CU still hasn't fixed it. Here it was reported back in April...

Creators Update - Discussion of new changes and quirks

Actually, until May 19th DISM was broken in 1703 too... *Smile
Creators update component store shows corruption but unable to repair

 

Did you notice that that one is the only one that uses MMC Console? A Clue????

 

It seems that I also have the same problem and was not even aware of it. I just went to WD's Firewall and Network Protection and clicked on "Advanced Settings". Nothing happened.

According to me this is something for Microsoft to fix. I am pretty sure from what I have read in the previous posts someone has already given notice to Microsoft in the Feedback Hub.. I am going to upvote that thread.

 

It doesn't work in my CU build either. Just to let everyone know. MMC does open with that Advanced settings link in Insider build 16241. Which build they fixed it in I wouldn't know. You would think it'd be an easy fix, for it's just the link to open that's broken.

 

Just noticed my Windows 10 phone is also doing the same with the settings (as well as showing numbers for a couple of entries which is a known glitch for the past few months):





I usually use my windows 8.1 phone.

My email is working okay now so that is good. Actually, no it's not, lol.
Okay, restarted modem and rolled back wifi driver and now it is working very good for me on all computers.

 

This update, (KB4025342), has failed to install on my machine 20 times as per Update History. While checking for updates. it appears to download and partially install, the blue line almost makes it all the way across the screen but then it goes back to checking again and repeats the process 3-4 times.

After the last try, Windows Update reports that your device is up to date. Yet the Update history shows the 20 failed attempts.

Should I download and install manually or just let it go?

Thanks.

 

Running the Reset Windows Update in Windows 10 posted on page 8 of this thread allowed the update to install properly. It wiped out my update history prior to that but at least this one installed properly. An update check run right after the reboot showed no new updates available. Thanks to whoever posted that hint and to Brink for writing the steps.

 

EDGE favourites SYNC is still broken with this build. It just does not work.

 

Update installed fine on my desktop, but not on my laptop. When I try to open the Windows Defender Security Center on the laptop, I get a mostly blank screen - only a few options appear, and the whole thing shuts down when I try to select any of them. It works fine on the desktop. I did a system restore to before the update, and everything worked fine. After letting the update re-install, the exact same problem was back. I welcome any advice on fixing this!

Edited to add that Malwarebytes will not run also - gets part way through and the pc crashes.

 

I just checked for updates and am getting this, twice. I'm on Insider Release Preview ring.






Short and sweet. Winver now showing as 15063.502

 

I am not am I am getting one also.
