    Windows 10 update KB4056892 will not install


    Hi there, I'd be grateful for any help anyone may have with this issue.

    For the past 3 weeks or so, my computer has attempted to update itself to the KB4056829 update and failed every single time. My computer restarts daily in an attempt to download this update during my non-active hours, but each and every time it tries to update, I get error messages in my notifications tab saying 'windows was unable to install all updates' which is quite aggravating.

    This is what I see right now in the updates section:

    Again, I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.
    Thanks~

    :)
     

  2. KB4056892 will not install

    I tried everything Microsoft recommended. The Media Creation Tool failed to fully deploy to my USB drive as well. I was running Windows 10 Pro for Workstations or whatever the heck build that is. Anyway, I changed my key to a Windows 10 Pro key and
    then after downloading the Windows 10 1709 ISO, I reinstalled Windows over itself while taking up the offer to Update windows during the process. It went through the setup keeping all files, settings, and programs, rebooted a few times and lo and behold,
    I was up from b16299.15 to b16299.125. At that point, I ran Windows Update and the problem update installed along with a few others in the list. I'm now up to .214.

    It keeps telling that it is awaiting a restart. I believe it is the update to deal with the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerability. It has failed so many times that Windows Update now displays the following message:

    Your device is at risk because it's out of date and missing important security and quality updates. Let's get you back on track so Windows can run more securely.

    Hey broy,
    Try the following to see if you can get it to install ...

    Edit: If you're using a 3rd party AV, then check the link in #3 below about compatibility issues.

    1st ... Run the windows update trouble shooter and see if it will install.
    2nd ... In File Explorer go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete everything in the Download Folder (Not the Download Folder itself) and then manually check for updates and see if it will install.
    3rd ... Download the update from the MS Catalog and manually install it. You can find links to it here - Cumulative Update KB4056892 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.192 - Windows 10 Forums

    Hi Eagle51,
    thank you for the suggestions/fixes.

    I tried everything from step one to three and nothing seems to be working, I'm back where I started with my computer requesting to be restart even though after about 6 times (in the past hour, mind you) of restarting tonight.

    Here's what it says:
