Windows 10: KB4517389 is destroying my PC functionality and I cannot get rid of it.

KB4517389 is a Windows update that causes my PC to lock up every 2 hours and disables most forms of video playback.


I have uninstalled it 4 times, which is difficult because the Windows uninstall an update feature doesn't work on it.


It also makes System Restore fail. All restore points try and fail. Even in safe mode.


Every time I uninstall it, it reinstalls itself, even with pause updates turned on.


I have tried uninstalling most other programs and even disabled all 3rd party background functions, as well as performed all hardware diagnostics and system repair options. The system will even fail if I leave it on the login screen and do not log in.


Every time I ask Microsoft all their technicians do is give me useless release notes or tell me how to install it, but never how to remove it.


How can I permanently remove this poison from my system and not spend 3 days a week fighting for a functional PC?

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
