Windows 10: KB4458469 seems to have "installed" ~700 times?

Hi, one of a few questions submitting today re: a new HP x360 Spectre convertible laptop I purchased Dec 8 and have been trying to set up. Already did a reinstall and now even more questions. OEM Win10 home and McAfee trial pre-installed.


Win10 install history doesn't show KB4458469 install (or several others), but clicking on 'uninstall' or viewing updates through Control Panel does.




KB4458469 is showing multiple installs, about 700 or so.

Cannot install NetFx3 feature without sources after installation of KB4458469

Using Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature, I can no longer install NetFx3 (.NET Framework 3.5) after installation of KB4458469 (cumulative update 2018-09). Here are the steps I have performed:

1. Before the installation of KB4458469 I am able to install NetFx3. The following command succeeds:
   
   Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online
2. I uninstall it immediately afterwards, and reboot my pc as requested:
   
   Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online
3. I run Windows Update, which installs KB4458469 and 2 Windows Defender updates (KB2267602 and KB4052623).
4. Now I can no longer install NetFx3. The following command fails:
   
   Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online

Here is the output:

Code:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature failed. Error code = 0x800f0950

At line:1 char:1

+ enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature], COMException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.EnableWindowsOptionalFeatureCommand

I know this can be solved by supplying the Windows installation sources, but I don't want to have to have these around when I need to install NetFx3.

Is there something I can do before or after the update so I can install NetFx3 (without sources) after the installation of KB4458469?

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
