Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB4074588 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.248 - Feb. 13

Hi,

There are several ways : Winver is one.
Then, if you run Diskcleanup System files it should show you 2.25Gb of update files on the top of the list as well.

Cheers, *Wink

 

I don't know about diskcleanup, but I typed winver in search and it says Version 1709 (OS-build 16299.248). Guess I am all set then *Smile

 

Hi!
Like many of you guys I've lost quite a bit of time trying to install kb4074588, facing the infamous 'unknown bug'.
Anyway, I've managed to install it successfully, and this is my recipe (actually it's more or less a compilation of suggestions from this wonderful site and from MS technotes). I don't pretend this will solve for sure any update problem, but you can give it a try *Tongue
What I did:
-Completely disabled Avast Antivirus (but keeping it installed)
-Deactivated a task in the scheduler which was automatically loading a bitlocker drive
-Applied Brink's 'reset windows update' bat file from this site
-Picked the update file (windows10.0-kb4074588-x64_baac70613d5503dcd3e652ac24b7f432f3579eef.msu) from Windows catalog website (my version in 64 bit) and run a manual update

That's all !
Hope this could help some of you spend more time with your families *Wink

Hi,

Looks like it.
You verify with diskcleanup by opening file explorer, right clicking the C: drive icon and selecting "Properties" the diskcleanup.

Cheers, *Wink

 

I don't know if it's just me, but my laptop is running much more warmer then before the update!

Edit: please ignore this one, a good blow on the CPU fan and all seems fine now *Smile

 

update installed fine, but now Path of Exile is jittery as ^%$#.

uninstalls

 

All my Intel systems updated fine but my old Phenom I is stuck at 16299.194 - any ideas?

 

Suspect this month update broke my Razer mouses:

Anyone experience issue with Razer mouse driver unavailable or error? Both my Razer Atheries and DeathAdder fail to work.

Laptop: Lenovo 710S-131KB
Mouse:
Atheries: driver error (Bluetooth connection)
DeathAdder: driver not available (USB connection)

Re-install driver also fail to work.

Swap with Logitech M557, work fine.

Atheries works fine when connected to my company HP 745 Elitebook laptop.

 

I installed it manually from Windows Update Catalog. No issues detected.

 

" I installed it manually from Windows Update Catalog. No issues detected. "...............here too !

Wonder why its not been offered by WUS , on my three machines , only kb890830 was detected.............
What is wrong.!!!!

 

Offered by WU. Installed succesfuly...no issues so far! *Smile

 

I've had the problem for two days. I downloaded the MSU from MS's site and tried it that way and it says, "Update already installed". I cannot figure it out.

There are a bunch of choices, I just chose the top one on the list that was over 600 mb. :shrug:


This is a new install also, just been running updates and not doing anything else. I guess at this point, I should just wait until they fix it.... assuming they do.

 

Next time to eliminate a few of them search the catalog that way:
KB4074588x64.

Already install isn't because of a new installation. It was installed from WU?

See in Settings under update history...
If not the case, click the link in post #1.

 

Yeah, I figured out which update it was supposed to be. There are two with the same number for AMD X64 systems. One says it isn't for my computer, the other says already installed. (Windows update keeps trying to download it over and over and over and then after restart, I get the update failed message. It's a vicious circle.)

Yesterday, it was a constant circle of WU downloading and installing Synaptics drivers after I'd uninstall it. I was able to permanently block them by hardware ID and use the generic Windows driver that I wanted. That is the only thing I've done since the fresh install. I've had Windows update fail many times over the years and it eventually sorts itself out. I rarely use the laptop with the update problem. I think I'll go check my Intel notebook and see if it updates correctly.

It's days like this, I'm happy to use OSX as my main computer. *Tongue

(Edit, installed fine on my other laptop. I am wondering if it's AMD specific.)

 

Hum, seems like after this update my Windows Live Mail 2012 on IMAP is not uploading my e-mail. It is attempting to update the folders and just stalls out. Seems like lately updates are attacking my old MS programs. Maybe another mail program, other than MS, may fill the bill. Hum, maybe Unix?
