Windows 10: windows update KB4458469

I cannot get this windows update to install (KB4458469). the update will download & then install to 25%, then it goes to initiating for a while. then it starts all over again. I ran the windows update troubleshooter, but did not fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot install NetFx3 feature without sources after installation of KB4458469

Using Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature, I can no longer install NetFx3 (.NET Framework 3.5) after installation of KB4458469 (cumulative update 2018-09). Here are the steps I have performed:

1. Before the installation of KB4458469 I am able to install NetFx3. The following command succeeds:
   
   Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online
2. I uninstall it immediately afterwards, and reboot my pc as requested:
   
   Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online
3. I run Windows Update, which installs KB4458469 and 2 Windows Defender updates (KB2267602 and KB4052623).
4. Now I can no longer install NetFx3. The following command fails:
   
   Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online

Here is the output:

Code:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature failed. Error code = 0x800f0950

At line:1 char:1

+ enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature], COMException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.EnableWindowsOptionalFeatureCommand

I know this can be solved by supplying the Windows installation sources, but I don't want to have to have these around when I need to install NetFx3.

Is there something I can do before or after the update so I can install NetFx3 (without sources) after the installation of KB4458469?

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

Step 1 Register DLL files.

=================

By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

Regsvr32 wups2.dll

Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

Regsvr32 wups.dll

Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll



Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

=========================================

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Event Log

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

===================================

One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net stop WuAuServ



2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net start WuAuServ
