Well, looks like this update keeps trying to reinstall.
I checked windows update after I installed this KB4490481 and it shows up again. So does that net framework update.
I installed them again, reboot, both updates appear again after checking for updates.
I'm done. Will stick with Win8.1 WMC. Been using that since October. It has been flawless with my complicated setup.
I will try again after that next big update.
Minor problem. Since yesterday's updates, the "Top Sites" I have pinned to the EDGE new tab page have the proper names and still connect to the desired site(s), but the background of each is totally white. No background color. Strange. But like I said, a minor issue. I'll just remove them all and re-pin each site again, after a restart.
My story continues!
I was rebooting from Win10 to boot to Win8.1. The update was installing on the shutdown phase and it was taking longer to install this time. So I tried to boot to Win10 again. It was continuing to update and bam. BSOD System Service Exception.
End of story.
Nothing is fixing my Top Site icons. Following your suggestion, or removing and re-pinning them. Turned off Top Sites all-together, cleared everything, restarted PC, turned Top Sites back on, and still nothing but a plain white background with any site I pin there. Visited sites not populating the placeholders either. Oh well... I'll dig into the forum and see what can be done to reset EDGE.
There is a similar issue in Edge after upgrading to 19H1, bookmark toolbar comes with URL's instead of icons only.
1.Reset User data and settings in Edge in PS ISE Admin
Normal ReadingCode:Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
2.Edge DataCode:VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Register package" on target "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppXManifest.xml". VERBOSE: Operation completed for: C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppXManifest.xml PS C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe /Delete the content
Restart
I don't display the bookmarks bar. But I was able to fix the Top Sites ICON issue by uninstalling AdBlock from Edge, then restarting the PC.
Thanks for showing how to RESET Edge though. I hope you've put that in the Win10 tutorial. That will come in handy for a lot of forum visitors.
that's weird. I am not getting the BSODs with KB4490481, secondsight. I'm using an old HP computer running Win10 LTSC 2019 (based on 1809) with an AMD Phenom II X4 B97 cpu with 6Gb of RAMHi Brink and everyone,
I like doctorwizz above also have BSOD on every machine I have after restarting to complete this update. They all run Win 10 Enterprise. I don't have any special software running and I've never had such problems before. I got out of the fix by doing a system restore and I'm back at 17783.379 now. I tried an experiment or two. I tried the standalone windows catalog installer....same thing. I tried also the installer for kb4493510 and strangely it said it was already installed (but its not...well not that I can see). Its all very odd.
can you and secondsight run Speccy on your machines and mention what CPU/processors you have and how much memory (RAM) installed? need to see the "specs" of your machines
Odd, I just looked at my Windows Update page in Settings (I had not clicked 'Check for updates') and found it busy reinstalling KB4490481 for a second time.
On completion it did not ask for a restart (well, it wouldn't need one if it was already installed, would it?) but it did record a second 'successful' install. (1809 Home, 17763.404).
PS: @AllenChicago will be interested to know that the reinstall set my pinned Edge tiles back to white/blank icons (and again, restored the icons by visiting the sites concerned).
