Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4103721 Version 1803

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:

    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.

    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 normal, but many users have this problem

    theres no doubt this unnessesary update ( just features and not security patches ) is causing problem ... one of my pc,s blue screened during the restart phase of the update .... this was caused by using a older HD6850 gpu ... luckily i had a more modern asus GT1030 which when installed allowed me to complete the update 

          it would be interesting to see how many older systems compared to modern ( skylake and amd fx series and after ) are experiencing these problems 

          personally i think microsoft should mark these feature updates as "optional" and only push "security " patches through as urgent 

          like many i only use my pc for web browsing and light gaming so i dont need these feature updates ....
