Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB4089848 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.334 - Mar. 22

Nope, Defender is not good enough. But, glad it got things sorted for you.

Just tried installing on a laptop that is 4 days into an in-place repair install and clean as a whistle:





This is why I am banging my head. *Mad

 

Actually if you have Defender you are using exploit protection - it's turned on by default. AFAIK replacing Defender real-time protection with another AV doesn't turn off exploit protection. To be strictly accurate, what I should have said is that you haven't looked at its settings yet. When you do it will be total garbage in 16299.309, as per my first screenshot.

 

As you said. It was garbage but corrected in 16299.334

 

Yes, I said that in my post #27, the first screenshot was .309, second screenshot is .334.

 

A mixed bag, some computers [both Desktop and Notebooks] worked fine but 2 Notebooks and 1 Desktop running Build 16299.214 had to be updated to Build 16299.309 before KB4089848 would install.

 

Hmmmm....... *Rolleyes

 

Now it's my turn to go "Hmmmm....".

It may be that the en-us version is the only one not affected. It has been confirmed in this thread that for at least the UK English and Italian language versions the text is screwed. It wouldn't be the first time a bug has been introduced in some of the translations.

 

Lol. . . I'm just glad we're not still stuck with Starband !





Two download speed tests from. . .

 

*Ditto

 

*chuckle Wouldn't be the first time, probably won't be the last either.... *Zip

 

Similar problems on my system with Norton Security. Every thing looks normal and the taskbar icons for WD Security Center and Norton Security show Green check mark. If I open WDSC it shows a warning on the Virus and Threat Protection that the security service is stopped and needs a restart. If I go to Security and Maintenance under Security the only thing showing is User and Account Control. Not Antivirus or Firewall shows. Then is a short time everything clears and it shows Norton in control.

Apparently this update is shutting down the security service and takes a minute or so to turn it back on.

Not good.

Well I've checked for this update for last few hours, and all I get is I am up to date. I'm still on build .309 here. Maybe they pulled it, I don't know...

 

OK no big deal.
I found that the Security Center service is on an Automatic Delayed Start so is not checking and reporting the status of Anti-virus and Firewall. Since the taskbar icon show green I have never checked the status immediately after startup.

That was fun chasing a problem that does not exist.

No, it's still there. Sometimes windows update gets a 'blind spot'. Running the Windows Update Troubleshooter can usually restore normal operation.

 

I concur.
I just finished updating my Intel Compute Stick to 16299.334 no more than 3 minutes ago.
