I'm having problems with the KB3033929 update from the latest run of Tuesday patches. After installation the PC reboots, but during the boot up configuration of the patch it fails and Windows starts reverting the configuration and reboots. And then it starts all over again a couple of times until it eventually boot into Windows. I looked into Windows' setup logs and found the following: A reboot is necessary before package KB3033929 can be changed to the Installed state. Package KB3033929 failed to be changed to the Installed state. Status: 0x80004005. Initiating changes for package KB3033929. Current state is Invalid Installed. Target state is Staged. Client id: WindowsUpdateAgent. Package KB3033929 was successfully changed to the Staged state.

OK - after browsing around I found that the problem appears to be associated with the bootloader. My system is dual boot. I have Windows on one SSD with its original bootloader. Another SSD holds Ubuntu 14.10 with a GRUB bootloader - this is set to boot first in the BIOS. My files are on a separate HDD. Here's what worked for me. Set the Windows drive to be the boot drive in the BIOS. Reboot into Windows (i.e., avoiding GRUB). Run Microsoft Update again and allow the install to complete along with restart. It did so without any issues. Restart computer and reset BIOS to place the Ubuntu SSD first in the boot order. All working normally and confirmed that KB3033929 has been installed. Not sure why the bootloader should be a problem. I have another machine that runs Windows 7 Home and Ubuntu on a partitioned drive - GRUB is the bootloader and yet there were no issues with the update. Could it be that the 64 bit update is the problem?? Yes, this worked for me. I believe it's the avoidance of the non-windows drive that is the trick. I didn't change bios settings but used the F8 key during boot to bring up a boot drive selection menu where I always picked the Windows disk (for both update install and the required reboot to finalize). THANKS!

I solved this Problem in this way: Run MicrosoftFixIt50123.msi Looked fpr Updates (Manualy) Installed Updated (INCL. KB3033929) NO Problem (Windows 7 Home) CY I tried this as I stated in my first post to this thread and it also did not work. In fact when I ran the manual update for KB3033929, it gave an error that it was for a different version of Window or something to that affect, don't really remember exactly as I tried so many suggestions to resolve the issue. The Fixit I ran was from a window directly on a M/S support web site. so I don't know if it was the same that you ran as I don't remember the numbers you have listed with it.

Run Microsoft FixIt 50123 FixIt 50123 addresses registry corruption. How did your registry become corrupted (damaged)? cf. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/407147/answers-to-common-security-questions-best-practices/?p=285305
