Cumulative Update KB4458469 Windows 10 v1803 Build 17134.320 Sept. 26

.KB4458469 is no longer found by windows update on this machine, even after several more restarts. Seems it is now only available through the Update Catalog...

Curiouser and curiouser...

I wondered if the equivalent update of the 20th for 1709 KB4457136 had similarly disappeared, so I ran up my test machine (System Two in my specs) with its 1709 image installed. None of the three updates from September 2018 were found - not even the 'Patch Tuesday' one.

So I uninstalled all cumulative updates and checked again. Apparently windows update in 1709 thinks the August 'Patch Tuesday' update KB4343897 is the most recent available update!

This suggests KB4458469 hasn't actually been 'pulled', rather that the windows update servers have a significant 'problem' and are misreporting what is available. If so, I expect someone will give the server a 'kick' when they get back to work after the weekend...

From all opinions heard so far, I think that sounds the most logical explanation!

That would explain why their servers are misbehaving often then, if someone at Microsoft are kicking servers on mondays.

....and if kicking isn't working, there is some punching involved too!

'Kick' as in 'put the boot in' - hence the expression 'rebooting' the server

I ran my DISM/SFC tri-fecta batch file after manually installing KB4458469:

Code:

@echo off
date /t & time /t
echo Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
echo ...
date /t & time /t
echo Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
echo ...
date /t & time /t
echo SFC /scannow
SFC /scannow
date /t & time /t

and had a ton of reported Infos (no outright errors) and some Warnings. Couldn't clean them up so restored (Macrium) to before manually installing KB4458469 (one week old) then restored the few things that had changed that I needed, then ran the DISM/SFC commands again and had pretty much the same junk so not caused by KB4458469.

I'll manually apply the update again soon.

Mostly, I got tons of these, which I've never seen before. No idea when they started happening or what they mean. Lots of searching turned up nothing useful:

I'm going to do a Clean Install of the Fall 2018 update when the ISO is available. Hopefully that will get things back to a stable level.
