The experience of May 2018 patch on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update doesn’t seem to be flawless either. Several users in Microsoft community forum said that the KB4103727 fails to install. It is worth noting that only a small number of users are experiencing such issues and Microsoft hasn’t yet acknowledged the installation problems.

Windows 10 KB4103727 fails to install on some computers, and the users claim that the update downloads, but it won’t finish installing. In some cases, it throws error 0x800706be and 0x80070bc. The number of reports suggests that the same bug happens on several other systems too.

By the looks of things, Windows 10 KB4103727 is hitting the typical installation issues and there are no critical bugs.

Needless to say, the patches for both Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803) and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709) appears to be causing the biggest headaches for users this month. The performance is however flawless after installing the patch.

How to fix Windows 10 KB4103727 installation issues

by adding OLD at the end, Start Windows Update service, and reboot. When I went to Windows Update, it no longer prompted to install kb4103727. It went directly to Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803.
