Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4103721 Version 1803

Question

This update has some serious issues, specifically. Do NOT install this update after updating to Windows 10 version 1803. It will prevent your computer from booting up. I am stuck on the spinning circle for a long time. I have to use a Windows 10 USB to boot into the Troubleshooting and use Command Prompt to boot into safe mode. Please fix this update!

UPDATE: I have a tutorial on how to fix that:

Answer 1

I discovered that if you installed a program from Iobit (like Driver Booster, for example) it creates a service called "LiveUpdate" with full name, as I remember, "LiveUpdateSvc".

Even if you remove the program the service will remain and this cause the KB4103721 update to fail to boot Windows after the update.

Uninstall all Iobit programs and remove the service from the administrator command prompt typing "sc delete LiveUpdateSvc" (check it is the correct service name) and then you will be updating Windows without any problem.

I experienced this issue on two computers and this has been the solution.

Answer 2

I'm sorry you are having problems with this update but on my three systems that have Windows 10 1803 installed, I have not had the same experience as you.  My systems boot up normally.

Answer 3

I have not had any Major troubles.  I have one that takes some time to boot up after the Lock screen but it did get there.

Answer 4

yes, I have the same problem

Answer 5

I have the same problem on two computers. Took off update after getting it to boot.
