Windows 10: Feb 2019 Windows Feature update failure

I have an HP laptop running Windows 10 version 1803 for X64 based systems. Windows Update tells me there is a Features update available but for version 1809. I have tried several times to install but without success - is this an omen ? Should I be concerned that the update is for version 1809 and not version 1803 ? I have limited memory so I often have to install manually but I cannot find this update (Features update) in Microsoft Update Catalog. Should I persevere ? How can I permanently block it ?


Thanks.

:)

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

"Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

It was a helpful post. Thanks!
