Windows10 Update: kb3093266 - What Does It Do?

AllenChicago said:

I changed the thread back to "Unsolved", because we still don't know EXACTLY what kb3093266 was intended to fix, in its entirety, do we?

Think I've seen a couple of problems resolved by kb3093266, but will have to get through the day before proclaiming victory over them.

Well, it's been 24 hours since KB3093266 was installed and I'm happy to report that my P.C. has stopped requesting that I do a Scan-Disk/Restart every few hours...and asking me to run a Windows Defender scan several times a day. Now maybe Microsoft can continue shoving out incremental fixes and enhancements at least once a week, like you'd expect from one of the companies that made America great.

The wide ranging unpredictable effects of KB3093266 seem to be similar to the same thing that happens to smart phones when Apple and Google push out iOS/Android software updates. The internet lights up with problems they cause. I don't recall that happening frequently with Microsoft updates...not like what we're seeing with Windows10. Maybe Microsoft should ditch the Free Operating System idea upon the next O.S. release. They might try harder to get it right beforehand.

Edit

***UPDATE
This morning after this update failed again I decided to try sfc /scannow. I know, I know, we all hate that suggestion.
Well,
it worked! (I HATE that it worked). PLEASE let me know if this did or did not work for you.
Open an Admin command prompt (find option by pressing Windows + X keys) > type sfc /scannow and let it run, reboot when finished > manually run Windows Update > success
(note – CBS.log was FULL of errors.)

I did this yesterday and had no time to post here... but yes that solution worked for me too... and finally I'm done with this CU constantly trying to install itself and then failing every time.... Glad that's behind me now... MS you really need to get this stuff sorted before you decide to release a CU that only causes more problems than it resolves?

cheers to everyone for their support in the interim....

I ran the cumulative update on 2 (other ) upgraded to RTM boxes here no probs didnt take long ,lucky I guess ☻

Just tried sfc /scannow & its only gone & ruddy worked! I fell off my computer chair when it said succeeded - Even though its almost midnight I've been up on the roof dancing with delight until the local constabulary coaxed me down & they thought I was drunk though i'm quite sober until I showed the policeman this thread then he understood though he is still on XP - Thanks for the tips ... Paul

As of now.. just downloaded and it's working smoothly.. :)

This CU installed fine on my system, with no problems as described in this thread.

Win10 Professional, 32-bit.

I keep getting failures. I made an image but wonder if I should keep running and hope MS fixes this or should I restore my complete image?

I fixed it by running the script posted by Sumit Dhiman2
