Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB4073290 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.194 - 64-bit

Don't know what to tell you but my CPU came available in 2012 and the HP laptop was sold in early 2013 (per HP). I did not buy it new. It was used and I picked it up at the end of 2015. The previous owner restored the factory settings when he sold it to me. It had Window 8. I upgraded it to 8.1 and the Win 10.

The only thing I can recommend is perform full image backup (best to is Macrium Reflect). Then install the update. If your system won't boot, then restore it. Then you will know for sure, not to install it.

 

For AMD 64 Bit, and KB 4073290 may I point you at my contribution on another thread Cumulative Update KB4073290 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.194 - 64-bit - Page 3 - Windows 10 Forums

 

There was a long hesitation when shutting down under *192 and the delay was even longer in UEFI. This KB file fixes it.

All the best,

 

Hello,
I've installing manually this KB on my Intel platform because of a Asus AI Suite 2 issue after KB4056892.
See AISuite fails to start after Windows update KB4056892 (Intel vulnerability patch)).

I'm wondering if the Intel vulnerability is still fixed after this KB which is to fix AMD boot process.

What do you think about that ?

Thanks

 

Future updates will cover KB...892 patches, so no need for it and yes they are included.

But it is not recommended to install any Bios/FW-Updates so long!

What they did was a very bad job doubling the workarounds from BS to Bios patches, but almost dont add any additional security.
And that even buggy at all causing reboots on all even new systems.

Read different postings here beginning 8pm from soulstealer, Mod Xalter and following, especially their links to other sites (and Linus Torvald statements):

How are you installing this on an intel machine? I have a i7 2600k and need a fix for the Asus AI Suite 2 issue after KB4056892 mentioned above. I've read that this can fix the problem, but am getting an error message about compatibility with my system when I try to manually install. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
