Cumulative Update KB4051963 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.98

Brink are these for 1709 because neither of my 1709 systems have received them or are they to get to 1709?
@kadp897, :)
They're for an older build.

Thanks. It wasn't entirely clear.

I think it's the description for those two updates that is confusing as it seems to say for Windows 10 v1709 which would imply that it's for systems running Windows 10 v1709.

Odd - I have always used (in descending order of frequency) IE, Firefox and Edge. All are reliable, all feel equally fast. I have little or no add-ons, perhaps that's why I have no problems?
Some sites work better in one rather than the others - hence the mix. My preference for IE is more out of habit than for any technical reason, but all get regular use. TBH, there's little to choose between them now.
I don't use add-ons, didn't use then in IE.
Anyway I've used (and defended) IE for many years (since Win 95), and even in the wake of "better" browsers stuck with it. That only when IE became very problematic for me after the Anniversary update was I forced to give Edge a try. Once I gave Edge a try and got used to it, IE became old news and I've not looked back. Sometime you get to a point where it's time to try something different and you find you like it.
BTW I've not run into any sites I frequent, including financial, government, school, and multimedia, that Edge has issues with. It just works. That's me.

The same exact thing happened to me, with the exception that I'm using Windows 10 Home and that I can login in normally i.e. no two logins. It shows the proper OS build 16299.98 when I check it.
Should I be worried? Should I do a system restore and try again or leave it alone?
I have not had any problems since - I think it was a glitch in the update that caused it to initially fail but it recovered itself and installed anyway. The windows update system only recorded the failure not the success. If you go to view the installed updates in Control Panel you will see it listed there. I ran sfc just to check that there were no problems and it was all ok.

Shawn, used your download to change it back to grey and it stayed grey until a restart changed it back to white. Changed location setting, restarted, changed it back to USA and it stayed grey until a restart turned it white again. Tried a registry hack to turn it back to grey and that worked until a restart, it seems that any changes performed to those setting will change back to default after a restart now. Using dark mode works but I didn't like it, finally I changed the Cortana box to a Cortana icon and at least I don't have that big ugly white Cortana box distracting me every time I open a browser. Never happened until I installed this CU, I guess I will be living with this until a possible fix comes along.
Since I only ever used the Search Box to search for local files I decided to disable Cortana using Brink's .reg file, This leaves the search box there but called Search Windows (really should read "Search this Machine"). Anyway the Search Box has gone back to a grey colour and stays like that after reboots.

Thanks, that explains why I have never seen it before.

I have found one financial data site that Edge cannot handle. Once in a while there's a popup asking you to confirm your status as a private investor or a professional. Once the popup appears there's no way to get out of it in Edge, tick the appropriate box then click the 'Confirm' button and it loops back to asking you to confirm your status.
Another advantage of IE over Edge is that you can individually assign different sites to different security zones, a feature I make use of that's missing in Edge.

Mine still shows White Doogie, no idea why as I've never messed with its color. Like you I have Cortana off.
