Thank you f14tomcat and GreenReaper and all who have commented. I was very hesistant when I was Getting 1709 update for "amd64-based Systems" despite Intel chip. Now I know that amd64-based Systems (KB4048955) is an appropriate, if bug-named, update for yourcomputer, as is
Windows Malicious SoftwareRemoval Tool for ***Windows Insider Preview and Server Technical Preview x64***- November 2017 (KB890830) is a buggy name, too. At least it has worked so far.
I'm about to download the KB4048955, latest CU for W10 1709 FCU manually from the catalogue. I'm confused now because I see they've added something called 'Delta' Update. What's the difference between the Delta and the normal CU? Which one should I download?
I'm currently on FCU 1709 - Build 16299.19.
EDIT:
Ok,..I quickly Googled and learnt that the Delta updates are just the files you need since the last update rather than downloading the whole Cumulative again.
Yes, this update was very quick and smooth and the restart went just as planned. No problems here.
As it has given error, I have downloaded it manually and when executing it it says that I have thousands of virus (WTF!!! It's fake). I have Malwarebytes Premium installed. Windows update has crashed this month.
LOL. I have almost more infected files than files on the computer. It's fake.

The failure must have noticed to Microsoft. From where I downloaded manually the Malicious Software Removal Tool, the links no longer work.

@wyxchari I don't have this issue on my Malwarebytes Premium.
I received both updates, but I'm manually updated KB4048955.
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows Insider Preview and Server Technical Preview x64 - October (10/27/2017)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows Insider Preview and Server Technical Preview x64 - November (11/15/2017)
I noticed the same thing.
If you go check the "View installed updates history" after updates are installed and restarted, you will notice that the Insider Preview update KB890830 is NOT on the installed list.
Apparently the system knows that we don't need it. Why it was offered via WU is a mystery.
That said, I can't say I am surprised. WU has been downloading and installing Microsoft Office 2010 updates in this particular computer which does NOT have Microsoft Office programs installed. This computer NEVER had MS Office 2010 installed since I bought it 10 years ago.

For me, update KB890830, shows under "View installed updates history" down at the bottom under Other Updates.
