Windows 10: Windows Update error 0x80004005 for KB3087040!!!

Had to do it manually like most of the other folks. Thanks to BrownianMotion for the link!!!

 

Same issue for me too. Update has failed all four times I have retried it, even after a reboot. Good to know I am not alone!

 

What version Flash Player now shows on your IE Manage add-ons page after the manual Windows update, curious to fact as there is a new flash update 19.0.0.185 ?

 

That's the one.....exact same version

 

Thanks Mike, my theory was correct look here, why can not update adobe in IE manually, but only by this windows update is odd in ways. Windows update error help

 

also the file date is: Sept 15, 2015 12:12pm jds63 *Smile

 

Question, is Windows update still showing the update to download and install after manual update ?

 

No. It's now reporting that my device is up to date. *Smile

 

Thank you !!
1. Isn't it strange as this update has no mentions of being for Windows 10,but only mentions Windows 8.1
2. Is this end of update would not install or is there more to come after this, that is the question.

 

Something not right with this update, i would not install it manually either. If already did, hope made a restore point before you did in case .

 

Oh I wouldn't worry about this flash update, besides, you installed this same update in your own browser. I read your post. Its just for Flash, chill out Gezzzzz

 

Talking to someone else here, wondered how it even worked for some of you manually. I am not worried about it at all, but i was unable to install it manually for IE and Edge as you did.

 

It was VERY easy to install, using the link another member posted. Had no problems with IE at all, and I NEVER use that lame Edge, if I could I would have removed it weeks ago. *Smile

 

I tried it by manually installing it and doing it from browser, as seen in my post in other thread, the error message shown, either way i try, no good. It's o.k., not worried if it's an MS thing, be fixed, if not i use Firefox mostly.

Windows update error help

 

I lost Edge and when I play Spider Solitaire it bugs out unexpectedly. I also can't launch Spider Solitaire and now even the STORE dialogue goes batty and disappears. This is all that I can think may be the cause: "Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3087040) - Error 0x80004005". I hope this get cleared up soon cause it is a pain in the butt!!
