My comment is that you've somehow posted a link to the MS Answers forum,
probably in an attempt to get people to go there for nefarious purposes.
That is all. (nod to M*A*S*H)

Possibly that was fixed before I got it.

I didn't get three updates, only one.
There were no Feature Updates on my release install.
Just the main Patch Tuesday update.

It seems the corporate WSUS people got stung the worst.
For people who "can't download the update" and are in
limbo, you're "safe for today". At least nothing else
can happen, until the issues caused by that (attempted)
update are fixed. The WSUS people got stung because
both a Delta Update and a Cumulative using the same
KB number, both got installed, bricking the computers.

Susan Bradley is trying hard, to get the home users to
follow the standard recipe (delete SoftwareDistribution),
but at this point, I can't even tell if the damn update
got past that point or not. If it is rolled back, you'd
want to then reboot the machine before it can make
another attempt to install. So that means "timing is
everything" when working on it. I can't expect home users
to figure out some of this stuff, if this is the first
time they've been "screwed by WU".

I think Home Users can recover from the (non-WSUS) version
of the problem. Perhaps pulling the network cable, before
the reboot (and it backs out the attempted update), will
give a period of calm to delete SoftwareDistribution
contents ?

If it had tipped over my machine, I would already have had
a chance to deal with it. But since the Patch Tuesday one
came in OK, I don't have the materials to work with, to
see if timing the repair right will work. If you leave the
network cable connected, it's only going to install the
same (stale) update again and again.

There are other threads, describing using DISM to try to fix it.
In the first example, it looks like someone running the
current release (15063). And you can see a reference to '608
and '674 (current).

******* output of DISM /get-packages *******

Package_for_rollupFix_Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd 64~~15063.674.1.8

Has a state of pending and no install time

Package_for_rollupFix_~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~150 63.674.1.8

has a state of pending install and an install time of 2:49

Package_for_rollupFix_~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~150 63.608.1.23

has a state of pending install and an install time of 2:50

******* example of someone rolling back their 14393 updates *******

Apparently the drive letter can vary, so it may claim to be
on D: or F: or ...

Dism /image:C:\ /get-packages /format:table results.txt

Dism /Image:C:\ /Remove-Package /PackageNameackage_for_Rollupfix_wrapper~31bf3856 ad364e35~amd64~14393.1770.1.6

Dism /Image:C:\ /Remove-Package /PackageNameackage_for_Rollupfix~31bf3856ad364e35 ~amd64~14393.1770.1.6

Dism /Image:C:\ /Remove-Package /PackageNameackage_for_Rollupfix~31bf3856ad364e35 ~amd64~14393.1715.1.10

And if you cannot boot a machine, if you use your Emergency
Boot CD or your Win10 15063 Installer DVD, you can probably
get to a Command Prompt. Many of the commands accept
offline syntax, to work on an image. However, I wouldn't
expect /Remove-Package to work offline, and that's likely to
only work while a system is running. If you cannot boot of
course... you're screwed. Same goes for any kind of Repair Install,
which requires a booted system. Very messy.

*******

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...date-kb4041676

"Windows devices may fail to boot after installing
October 10 version of KB 4041676 or 4041691 that
contained a publishing issue"

And yet KB4041676 only contains one file on the catalog
server, so I fail to see why those three packages above
show up.

Imagine what would happen if users had control over updates ? :-\

Many thanks, Paul. :-)

I learn much from you! I suspect that other folk reading the groups will
also gain from reading your response.

1. Problem #1,2 and 3: Win10.
2. Who gives a sh*t about that KB?
3. TURN OFF ALL UPDATES and your problems will dissappear.
