I would bet that Microsoft will say that the telemetry suggested that for most users, the update installs correctly. If the bug was reported, why did Microsoft go ahead and release the patch if the feedback indicated there was an issue? Some users have reported that the cumulative update did install correctly on the second or third attempt while others have said that it fails every time.Īs you can imagine, having this happen to your machine is not a fun experience but what is perplexing about this is that the issue was reported by those who are in the ‘release preview’ ring ahead of the wider-scale release we know this as it was reported in the Microsoft’s support forums. Worse, after a restart, the file will attempt to install again resulting in the loop of failed install, reboot, re-install and failure again. The update, when it does fail, is causing some machines to restart, often multiple times, as Windows 10 attempts to remove the failed update. The update that is causing the problem, KB3194496, is not installing correctly for users. While I don’t know how many users are impacted, based on comments sent to me, it’s certainly widespread enough that this is well beyond an isolated issue. This week, Microsoft pushed out another cumulative update and reports of installation problems are widespread.
