I checked for updates on Lappy around 8:35 last night, Mike, and although I didn't pay close attention to what was going on, when I looked, Restart was waiting for me. I restarted at 9:10 and it was finished by 9:14.

I think if I'd been watching the Lappy, and if I'd seen Restart sooner, the CU would have finished a lot sooner.

I can pinpoint the times because I was skyping with a friend and we were comparing notes. :)

I ended up just downloading it Wynona, as it just kept telling me I was up to date.

At least you got it, and may I assume there were no glitches?

Because others had a lot of "it didn't install; retry", I was really hesitant to even check, but when I did, it was so painless I was flabbergasted!

No issues at all Wynona, installed fine. :)

Obviously neither of you use Windows Defender Exploit Protection. I've been waiting for this one all month, couldn't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned. It turned this major SNAFU with the wrong text appearing all over the place....

...into this, all present and correct.

I have not installed the latest KB, but my Exploit is on by Default>

Same here, on 3 of 7 machines. 4 did it from WU. No pattern I recognize.

That would be because you have the EN-US install of Windows 10. Evidence is mounting that it got broken when translated for other languages, my EN-GB included...

Bree said:

It may be that the en-us version is the only one not affected. It has been confirmed in this thread that for at least the UK English and Italian language versions the text is screwed. It wouldn't be the first time a bug has been introduced in some of the translations.

...add to that list Greece, as reported by @ddelo in post #31.

As you said. It was garbage but corrected in 16299.334

, I was in the same boat as you were. I finally got to install it (KB4089848) by downloading the standalone package from the Microsoft Update Catalog this morning. That was after checking for updates for almost close to a whole day. I should add that was a first in a long time. Normally, I would get any update by just "Checking for Updates" even though I have put some restrictions with regard to "Automatic Updates" in GP editor. I never liked the idea of Windows automatically downloading and installing updates on my machine unbeknownst to me. I know most members of this forum won't agree with me on this one, but the time frame that Microsoft needs when I am not using my machine is not easy to provide. I can be using the PC at any time 2, 3, or 11 O'clock in the morning or in the afternoon, depending on the day...

Remember this guy.
On 2 systems this key was not set as MS says it is not required in Windows 10 as of the last update.
Ran WU multiple times and it said I was up to date.
I set the key and as soon as I tried WU it offered the update.

I'm gonna pass on this one as I'm not experiencing any issues with the included Key changes.

Concerning the short update interval, I wonder if there is something in there MS is not divulging like profile-telemetry: see facebook debacle.

Very nice findings. I remember having set these values with regard to QualityCompact at some point in time when Microsoft was asking that all third-party A-V software be updated before one can get some updates. I just went to check in regedit.exe and I don't see them anymore. I have never removed them myself. Now, I understand why I couldn't get KB4089848 when checking for Updates. As explained in my post # 57, I had to download it manually.
