If you are on .661 you need to go back to an earlier version either from a backup or via a repair install.Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

This is excellent advice -- as I had this same problem, restored the PC using an MR backup, setting it back to 19042.610 -- and the Windows Update did fine. The PC is now 19042.685.

Settings>System>About.

Also under Settings / Update & Security, towards the bottom is an OS build info link.

Is UUPDump still working? I notice they have 19042.685 up. Maybe that would be an option after a good system backup for some who are otherwise stuck.

Dirt dumb way...... tap the Windows key on your keyboard, type "about". It's on the top, click it.

Where did you see that? The part in Bold?

Is it this that has you concerned?

Addresses a security vulnerability by preventing applications that run as a SYSTEM account from printing to "FILE:" ports. To address this issue in the future, make sure your applications or services run as a specific user or service account.

If so, please do not be. This is directed at developers for the most part, and is a rare circumstance to begin with. It's a Security update and cannot be avoided in the update. You're not going to crash. The System processes will keep running.

Thank you! Yes, that's what was bothering me. Thank you for your reply & easing my worry. I will install it.
