Okay .... but before I give it a shot I want to make sure you know I have already downloaded and tried installing that same file from that link and it failed.
So, my question, Is using the DISM command different than just a normal Manual update of KB4013429?
okay I will give it a shot
Hi OldMike65,
Apparently I am not a whiz at using the DISM update method. I tried running it and I got an error 87
When I opened the Admin Command Prompt it looked like: C:\Windows\system32>
Then I added: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\desktop\KB4013429-x64.cab
As soon as it ran it put up error 87.
Did I enter something wrong?:
Thanks and regards,

Error 87, It's often because the command line isn't typed correctly. Are you sure you have a space before each /
Also I am going to have to leave soon, I have some people coming to install floor tiles in my living room.....If I don't get back....thats why...sorry.
Hi OldMike65,
No problem. I appreciate you trying to help but for one reason or another I couldn't pull it off.
However, knowing that, is there any way I can tell Win 10 to hide that Cumulative Update until next month's Cumulative Update comes out? Maybe I will have better luck with that one.
Have a great weekend. Hope your floor turned out good.
Thanks and regards,

Sorry it did not update for you, read this tutorial ....
Hide or Show Windows Updates in Windows 10
Hi OldMike65,
Looks like some interesting reading. Is my memory really failing me or am I correct that in previous Windows edition it was possible to just hide any unwanted update or unhide one right from the Update page?
All I am trying to do is stop Microsoft from continuing to download and trying to install this failing Cumulative Update (KB4013429) on my computer until I can sort out the reason it is not installing correctly.
Thanks for the link.

No, your memory isn't failing you, that's the way it worked in Windows 7. But MS decided to make Windows 10 updates automatic. Their reasoning was that allowing selective updates meant that every system would be different and support would be problematic.
The tutorial that OldMike65 linked to tells you how to download and use wushowhide.diagcab, a Troubleshooter that can be used to hide any update that may cause problems. It can hide KB4013429 and stop it repeatedly downloading, just as you ask.
