Failed Cumulative Update KB3194496
Hi Guys,
Just came across this thread, I posted about my failed update under the Windows and Updates & Activation forum, Post 832200.
I'm just wondering if it's worth all the trouble to get this update to work at this time.
The last I heard from Microsoft was:
"Microsoft has already confirmed that it’s working on a patch that would correct Windows 10 cumulative update KB3194496 installation issues, and now the company claims that it’s very close to releasing it to users.
Details aren’t yet available, but given that the firm says development is close to the final stages, the release could take place as soon as this week, most likely in the coming days.
“We’ve been working diligently on this issue and are finalizing a clean-up script that will fix the underlying issue preventing the install of KB3194496 (Cumulative Update 14393.222) for affected users. Your patience during our research and subsequent work is greatly appreciated,” Microsoft said in a post on the Community forums.
What’s important to know, however, is that this fix might first be released to insiders, as they were also experiencing problems with the cumulative update, so retail users might have to wait a little bit longer until they receive the same patch."
Any thoughts please?
I have tried the fix which removes XblGame with no luck.
It seems others have had luck using MediaCreationTool and the upgrade option and others have had luck deleting the contents of the C:\Windows\Softwaredistribution\Download folder but I haven't tried either of these.
So my question is, do I wait or risk trying more things and more "black screens"?
My machine is working fine without it at the moment and it seems to have stopped downloading it and I don't go checking for it anymore.
Thanks
Paul
