Windows 10: Windows 10 KB4517389 breaks Edge browser and fails to install

Microsoft says it’s not aware of any critical known issues in Windows 10 KB4517389 for May 2019 Update, but some users are reporting Start menu and Microsoft Edge failures after applying Windows 10 KB4517389.

KB4517389, which is a security update and installs automatically on Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903), reportedly breaks Microsoft Edge. A number of users have also documented issues with the Start menu and as well as update installation.

“I have had the same issues. My IT department tried reinstalling as well and it still won’t open. This just started 10/9/19 and I assume it has something to do with last windows update. I opened a ticket with Microsoft and they tried to troubleshoot and all those failed,” a user wrote on Microsoft community forum.

“I can confirm that. Besides, Edge does not work anymore. It does not start anymore. Internet Explorer starts and runs. I’ve [uninstalled] update KB4517389 everything works as before. Apart from VMware 14, which does not work anymore, too,” another user stated.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft Edge launch failures were reported with previous updates too, but Microsoft is yet to acknowledge any such issues with Windows 10.

Installation issues


There are few isolated reports of failed installs and post-installation issues as well

Users are reporting that this Windows 10 cumulative update could fail to install with a generic error message, and it’s unclear what causes failed installs but it could be the incompatible or outdated drivers.

Microsoft is also preparing Windows 10 November 2019 Update, which will resolve various problems with the OS.

Windows 10 v1903 is now compatible with Surface Book 2


In related news, Microsoft shipped a firmware update for Surface Book 2 to resolve issues blocking the upgrade to Windows 10 version 1903, also known as May 2019 Update.

Microsoft blocked Windows 10 May 2019 Update for Surface Book when it discovered an issue causing the display adapter to disappear.

The dGPU disconnection issue also affected the performance of Surface Book 2 and the operating system crashed when a graphics-intensive process executed. This has been finally addressed and users can grab Windows 10 version 1909 upgrade.

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate
