• Win10 1803 Aug cumulative update: Installation fail loop ”Update couldn’t apply, reverting changes”

  Looks like this problem (which has occurred with every version of Win10, as far as I know) has reared its ugly head with the August Win10 1803 update.

  Uroboros4 on Reddit says:

  I have Win10 1803 genuine. None of the cumulative updates can be applied(for example KB4343909, kb4284835, kb4103721). It reaches 100% and says ” Update couldn’t apply, reverting changes”. I have tried a lot of stuff (pausing win update and manually installing them, scan windows for corrupted files to no avail). Anyone has the same problem?

• Patch Lady – if you do have 1803

  If you do have 1803 on your computer systems, you’ll honestly want to install https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4103721

   

  There are several key fixes in this release:

  1. The issue impacting Chrome and Cortana is fixed.  “Addresses an issue that may cause some devices to stop responding or working when using applications, such as Cortana or Chrome, after installing the Windows 10 April 2018 Update.
  2. Fixes an issue with interaction with Server 2016 Essentials and those who have VPN set up.  The issue manifests itself whereby the Server connector software can’t be installed on 1803 machines if VPN is set up on the server.  Installing this update fixes the side effect.  It may also fix issues with third party vpn software.  “Addresses an issue that prevents certain VPN apps from working on builds of Windows 10, version 1803. These apps were developed using an SDK version that precedes Windows 10, version 1803, and use the public RasSetEntryProperties API.“
