Windows 10: KB4340917 Requires a restart to finish installing; and restart(s) fail to complete over and over

After weeks and weeks of struggling with the latest update to 1803 (May/June) I finally blew away the full Windows 10 installation and downloaded the full 1803 install and did a new install. For the past 3 or 4 weeks is has been great; every update worked - until today. Now I'm back to the sort of problems that plagued the last release, namely


KB4340917 Requires a restart to finish installing; and restart(s) fail to complete over and over.


It will not complete no matter how many times I restart.


Any suggestions?

:)

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

KB4074588 Requires a restart to finish installing

I have a similar issue: Windows 10 Update View installed update history displays "Requires a restart to finish installing" for the KB4088776 Update, see the following screen capture:





I have restarted the PC several times to no avail. I tried Windows Update Troubleshooter which reported finding and correcting an Update error: Updates waiting restart. Every time I run the Windows Update Troubleshooter, it reports the same error which
it says it fixed. The "Requires a restart to finish installing" message persists. I downloaded the KB4088785 Update, but when executed, a message displays the update is already installed. The Windows Version 1709 (Build 16299.309) displays in Settings| About
which is the correct version and build for the KB4088785 Update.

How do I complete the "Requires a restart to finish installing"??

 

Problem Re: KB4048954 patch Requires a restart to finish installing


I'm not ready to install Fall update yet. This pertains to the Nov 2017 cum. update. I have the exact same situation and see what this guy sees in windows update in the link below."I looked at update history and the above patch is marked as "Requires a restart to finish installing".No matter how many restarts KB4048954 says the same thing. Not home now to check on the fix referenced below but curious if anyone ran into the same thing. win 10 pro.

.KB4048954 patch Requires a restart to finish installing - Microsoft Community

I have since gone into windows update and un-installed KB4048954 and installed KB4055254. Both are cumulative updates from November the former the problem one was from earlier in the month and the latter is from later in the month. KB4055254 installed successfully and does not say that it needs to be restarted. First picture shows KB4055254 installed but I still see KB4048954 listed. In the second picture right below it If I go to uninstall updates I see KB4055254 which is good and I no longer see KB4055254 so I am assuming that it was successfully removed. I believe now that this is mostly an aesthetic thing for me. I would like to remove from the list of updates KB4048954 so that I no longer see "requires a restart." Right clicking it does no good. Anyone have a solution? TIA.
