Windows 10: Unable to install KB3081438

KB3081438 is cumulative, so it includes everything in KB3081424. If you can get KB3081438 on, you're good.

Perhaps if you started your own thread, and laid out your system specs and what you've tried so far, some of the experts here could work on your particular system, and try to get this update installed for you? *Smile

 

Thanks for that info Simrick. I actually found that a Microsoft rep said that update "KB3081440" is going to roll out, which is supposed to fix the issue. It was posted 4 days ago, and I believe it is available through the Update Catalogue.

Cumulative Update for Windows 10 fails to install - Microsoft Community

I'm assuming it'll be available through the official Windows Update very soon, so I guess I'll hold out. I believe you can only access the catalogue through IE, and I read about some issues with users trying to do so.

 

.
Why don't you manually download KB3081438 and install? The link is post on page 1 of this thread.

 

Tried it and still goes into reboot loop, uninstalling the update.

 

Oh good. I hope this sorts things out for you! *Smile

 

Thanks very much!

 

I am unable to install KB3081438. It goes into the install/reboot/fail/uninstall/download/install/reboot/fail/eat/lather/ rinse/repeat loop.





Attached is the Windows Update log (via powershell's get-windowsupdatelog command). I have not one red bloody clue as to what's going wrong -- the log's just a bit thick for me.

 

This update KB3081438 was automatically downloaded and the install failed with a statement saying Restart Required. When my laptop was restarted, the process restarted several times, uninstalled this update change, and after 10 minutes came back to a normal login screen. Is there a fix for this update?
