Microsoft Delivers However One more Broken Windows 10 Update

This week, Microsoft pushed out another cumulative update and reports of installation problems are widespread. Even though I don't know how a lot of users are impacted, based on comments sent to me, it's certainly widespread enough that that is well beyond an isolated situation.

The update which is causing the problem, KB3194496, is not installing correctly for customers. The update, when it does fail, is causing some machines to restart, often multiple times, as Windows ten attempts to remove the failed update. Worse, after a restart, the file will attempt to install again resulting in the loop of failed install, reboot, re-install and failure again.

Some customers have reported that the cumulative update did install correctly on the second or third attempt though other individuals have said that it fails every single time.

As you can imagine, possessing this happen to your machine is not a fun expertise but what is perplexing about that is that the concern was reported by these who are within the 'release preview' ring ahead in the wider-scale release; we know this as it was reported in the Microsoft's support forums. In the event the bug was reported, why did Microsoft go ahead and release the patch when the feedback indicated there was an challenge?

I would bet that Microsoft will say that the telemetry suggested that for most customers, the update installs correctly. But, seeing how lots of reports are being mentioned on Twitter and other places, it really is clear that a significant number of users are impacted.

If you do have this challenge, there is not a workaround at this time but if you do find a solution to update challenge, make sure to let us know so we can pass it on to these who are impacted by this bug.

Microsoft is pushing the idea that you really should always patch your machine on the day the update is released as they often release safety patches that fix vulnerabilities. But, until the corporation can get a handle on their quality control difficulties, such as the Anniversary update breaking millions of webcams, it feels like each and every time you run Windows update you are rolling the dice.
