This one took a bit longer than other recent cumulative updates have taken on my PCs. But so far no overt problems have shown up. Do you think they're making up for no cumulative update in February with 2 in March?

Nope. This one was just an out-of-band to fix an issue in the previous.

• Addressed a known issue with KB4013429 that caused Windows DVD Player (and 3rd party apps that use Microsoft MPEG-2 handling libraries) to crash.
• Addressed a known issue with KB4013429, that some customers using Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 1607 Client with Switch Embedded Teaming (SET) enabled might experience a deadlock or when changing the physical adapter’s link speed property. This issue is most commonly seen as a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION or when verifier is enabled a VRF_STACKPTR_ERROR is seen in the Memory dump.

Totally agree. Not impressed that have to go through this shenanigans twice in under a week because of MS dismal QA. But surely this should be a small, quick update for those who updated last week.

You really need a spare machine to play around with on the Insiders Fast Ring. That would soon get rid of your paranoia surrounding everyday cumulative updates Scttyboy :)

Or double it! Joking, Scotty!

My Desktop is taking forever to do this update. We have an older Laptop that didn't take this long for this update and I did them at the same time. The Desktop has a 1TB Hard Drive. Would that by why it's taking so long?

Having a 1TB HD doesn't have any bearing on it, unless it's nearly full and/or highly fragmented (if it's an HDD spinner). Cumulative updates, even small ones, can be cpu intensive. System has to figure out what needs to be downloaded, then download it, then prep it, then update it. No simple answer.

Answering Doogie and Tomcats posts....I am an Insider, but have never had as much agro as with this RTM update.
Two machines have updated, one had its Hello biometric startup buggered up, the other am typing this post now.
My third machine a desktop i7 with unlimited high speed fibre broadband has spent nearly 2 hours downloading and only now preparing to install updates.. though this has remained static since I started this post.
