Cumulative Update KB4346783 Windows 10 v1803 Build 17134.254 - Aug. 30 - Windows 10 ForumsUPDATE 8/30:
August 14, 2018 - KB4343909 (OS Build 17134.228)
Applies to: Windows 10, version 1803
Note This release also contains updates for Microsoft HoloLens (OS Build 17134.228) released August 14, 2018.
Improvements and fixes
This update includes quality improvements. No new operating system features are being introduced in this update. Key changes include:
- Provides protections against a new speculative execution side-channel vulnerability known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) that affects Intel® Core® processors and Intel® Xeon® processors (CVE-2018-3620 and CVE-2018-3646). Make sure previous OS protections against Spectre Variant 2 and Meltdown vulnerabilities are enabled using the registry settings outlined in the Windows Client and Windows Server guidance KB articles. (These registry settings are enabled by default for Windows Client OS editions, but disabled by default for Windows Server OS editions.)
- Addresses an issue that causes high CPU usage that results in performance degradation on some systems with Family 15h and 16h AMD processors. This issue occurs after installing the June 2018 or July 2018 Windows updates from Microsoft and the AMD microcode updates that address Spectre Variant 2 (CVE-2017-5715 – Branch Target Injection).
- Addresses an issue that prevents apps from receiving mesh updates after resuming. This issue occurs for apps that use Spatial Mapping mesh data and participate in the Sleep or Resume cycle.
- Ensures that Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge support the preload="none" tag.
- Addresses an issue that prevents some applications running on HoloLens, such as Remote Assistance, from authenticating after upgrading from Windows 10, version 1607, to Windows 10, version 1803.
- Addresses an issue that significantly reduced battery life after upgrading to Windows 10, version 1803.
- Addresses an issue that causes Device Guard to block some ieframe.dll class IDs after installing the May 2018 Cumulative Update.
- Addresses a vulnerability related to the Export-Modulemember() function when used with a wildcard (*) and a dot-sourcing script. After installing this update, existing modules on devices that have Device Guard enabled will intentionally fail. The exception error is “This module uses the dot-source operator while exporting functions using wildcard characters, and this is disallowed when the system is under application verification enforcement.” For more information, see https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2018-8200 and https://aka.ms/PSModuleFunctionExport.
- [ADDED 8/22] Addresses an issue that was introduced in the July 2018 .NET Framework update. Applications that rely on COM components were failing to load or run correctly because of “access denied,” “class not registered,” or “internal failure occurred for unknown reasons” errors.
- [ADDED 8/22] Addresses a vulnerability issue by correcting the way that the .NET Framework handles high-load or high-density network connections. For more information, see CVE-2018-8360.
- Security updates to Windows Server.
If you installed earlier updates, only the new fixes in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.

Getting it right now
I'm on it now!
does not really enrich the thread
I have just installed it on a fresh formatted PC. I checked WU and it was there...
Let's see: I've got 4 machines to upgrade. Three of them underway, still have to get to fourth machine. I notice that the cumulative update goes first, Adobe Flash second, and MSRT last (all of which go pretty quickly, especially the MSRT which can sometimes take several minutes to complete). To restart on 2 of 3, got an error code 0x800705af on the T520 Lenovo. Trying again...
--Ed--
[PS Added 40 mins later:] After several retries with WU, I switched to the catalog item for the cumulative update. Took FOREVER for it to start making progess, but it's now about 70% installed, and looks likely to complete successfully. Wonder where the issues came from on this particular PC (Lenovo T520 laptop), which is usually trouble-free. Very interesting! Completed successfully as I was writing this, now in the post-reboot processing phase.
[PPS Added 1 hr later:] The fourth machine updated without any issues, and the "problem PC" successfully updated after applying the cumulative update manually. Ran DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /STARTCOMPONENTCLEANUP successfully on my wife's PC without checking for space savings on that machine. Running it again now on the X220 Tablet for more complete figures.
[PPSS Added 1.5 hr later:] Results of startcomponentcleanup:
1. Reported size before: 7.9 GB after: 6.85 GB
2. Actual size before: 7.5 GB after: 6.7 GB
3. Shared with Windows before: 5.97 GB after: 5.91 GB
4. Backups & disabled features before: 1.28 GB after: 544 MB
5. Cache & Temporary data before: 241 MB after: 240 MB
