Cumulative Update KB4051963 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.98

3 out of the 4 office systems updated and one failed and rolled back to 16299.68. There was no error message but the install seemed to stop at 90% just before the desktop screen appeared. I only tried once because it is an older Dell laptop and is kinda slow.

WEK

EDIT: I re-ran Windows Update for a second time on the old Dell and it completed and installed 16299.98.

Before this update my searchbox on the Taskbar was a light grey colour. Now it looks like this:-





Any ideas how to get it back to light grey ?

Hey @DooGie, :)

Hope this helps.

It appears this update is classed as a 'Feature Update'.

I have Feature Updates deferred for 28 days and Quality Updates deferred for 7. A manual update check showed nothing available and so I set Quality to zero days and ran a new check. Still nothing. Rebooted and still nothing on a manual check. Setting Feature Updates to zero immediately showed the update available on a manual scan.

Odd, but glad that worked for you. Says in the notes (Post #1):

This update includes quality improvements. No new operating system features are being introduced in this update.

The world of MS semantics! :)

Hardly ever go near IE, but it's been busted here since FCU. Just a crash 'n burn every time. But according to the notes, they fixed a lot of IE/Edge WinHTTP (?) stuff, and now it runs normally. I still don't go near it much. Just the very occasional bank site that is still state-of-the-art 1998. :)

IE became a total crash fest for me right after the Anniversary update. After that I moved to Edge and never looked back.
