Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB4093105 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.402 - Apr. 23

I see *Smile Thanks - I do exactly the opposite - create an image manually as and when I want to. That means I can keep as many or as few as I wish. Between times, the drive containing the images isn't even plugged in - if it ain't connected, it can't be corrupted!

My important machines get changed as little as possible (apart from Updates) and any test software (including Updates!) is first installed on another PC, which is also imaged manually.

However, my DATA is backed up using File History AND FreeFileSync https://www.freefilesync.org

I guess we all have our preferred methods.

 

All three of mine have updated to 16299.402 with no issues, I downloaded from Binks link Monday and installed it on my 2 business desktops one upgraded from 8.1 and the other clean installed to 10 at 1703, ran the same file last night on my notebook. I haven't noticed any differences on any of them.

 

Updated via Update in Settings.....went smoothly this morning all seems fine.....was almost hoping for some problems since I am seriously thinking about a Fresh Install since it has been a long time with a lot of updates on this current install......oh well, if it ain't broke I guess I should not be trying to fix it......LOL

 

Just installed it...no problems so far!

Applies to: Windows 10 version 1709

Improvements and fixes

This update includes quality improvements. No new operating system features are being introduced in this update. Key changes include:

Addresses an issue that causes modern applications to reappear after upgrading the OS version even though those applications have been deprovisioned using remove-AppXProvisionedPackages-Online.

How ironic!!!
They fixed that...and a few hours ago I was asking this question: Reprovisioning a deprovisioned Windows app *Tongue

 

There is no sign of this update in the UK yet via Windows update for my laptop.

 

There is the Microsoft Update Catalog option if you don't want to wait.

 

I'll do the manual update soon. I'm curious why it hasn't appeared in WU yet.

 

I tried to install this upgrade, download is OK but after restart and appr. 95% system writes that it's not possible to finish instalation and it is going on recovery point. I tried this upgrade 7-times with same results.
My hardware: HP Pavilion Power 15, i5-7300hg, SSD, Win 10 1709
Pls. help.

 

That's odd - I'm in UK and both my test PCs (Win 10 Pro) updated yesterday - 25th April. My laptop (Win 10 Home) is just updating now.
Obviously I had to set my advanced settings and Network metering to allow them and "Check for Updates" but that's often the case.

 

I had Feature Updates deferred for 180 days. I reset the deferred period to zero and I now have this update. It's strange it has been blocked by the Feature Update setting when it's not a feature update. Maybe this is another MS mistake?

 

My normal settings on my important Pro machines are:

LAN connection METERED
Semi-Annual Channel
Feature updates deferred for 365 days
Quality updates deferred for 30 days

Nearly every month I change it to

LAN connection UN METERED
Semi-Annual Channel
Feature updates deferred for 0 days
Quality updates deferred for 0 days

then get the updates, then change it back.

I love it - almost as much control as in the days of Win 7 *Cool

Obviously, the Home machine only offers the Metering option on LAN or WiFi but it's better than nothing. Oh and one of my test machines is left at unmetered, 0,0 - that one gets the updates as soon as they become available.

 

Actually, that's not necessary. If you check for updates over a metered connection you'll get a 'Download' button that will tell Windows to download the updates over the metered connection.

 

True but if you do set it unmetered it just goes ahead and does it anyway, which, once I've decided I want the update(s), is what I want to happen. Sort of "Six or 2 threes" I'd say. *Biggrin

 

My Desktop system is doing the same thing. I have a delay for 10 days and the last CU that came down, never got to my Desktop system while my two laptops (1 Intel, 1 AMD), got it immediately. Probably because they are HOME systems, vs the Desktop which PRO.

 

Your Windows Update databse is probably corrupt. Some simple steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
1- run sfc /scannow in elevated command prompt. If it finds some integrity violations that it cannot fix, go the next step
2- run dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth and
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
I think you should run the latter whether or not you find integrity violations

3- After the aforementioned attempts, try to check for Updates again.
4- If step 3 still doesn't give the expected result, you can try to reset Windows Update:
*Arrow Reset Windows Update in Windows 10

5- If after all that, you are still having issues with downloading the latest CU, your last resort would be an in-place upgrade (repair install):
*Arrow Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
I really hope that can help *Wink
