Windows 10: Error 0x80070643 - KB4052623 - Can we get better instructions?

?I have had this update fail for a while now but apparently its a known issue.


Here is a quote from the link above


"

Known issues in this update

Because of a change in the file path location in the update, many downloads are blocked when AppLocker is enabled.


To work around this issue, open Group Policy, and then change the setting to Allow for the following path:

%OSDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\*
"


The workaround instructions are missing key steps. I don't know where in Group Policy to change that setting.


Can someone help, please?




PD: I recently formated my ssd and started over. I used the latest (april 2018) Windows 10 64 bit 1803 image downloaded directly from Microsoft.


I've already tried every suggestion given in the following links and then some:

KB4052623 Install Fail (Error 0x80070643): A suggested workaround.


Hi all

I've seen a number of threads online about "Update for Windows Defender antimalware platform - KB4052623 (Version 4.16.17656.18052)" failing to install (Error 0x80070643).

About a week after the 2018-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4100403), I noted the above message in my own update history.

I got some ideas online I turned into a workaround that worked for my circumstances.

In the hope it may work for others, I've posted it on Microsoft Community at KB4052623 - Microsoft Community.

If posting a link to another forum rather than putting the workaround here is acceptable, I'd be really grateful as - being image-intensive - it was a bit long to set up.

Cheers
