KB3033929 fails to install and cause a minor "infinite" loop

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.

So what is wrong?

    I have the same problem as Shodan2k in thread "KB3033929 fails to install and cause a minor "infinite" loop". As a reply to your question, PA Bear MS MVP, I checked that KB3035131 shows as installed update, but KB3033929 is not listed as installed update. The system on which the installation of KB3033929 failed has Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. I have several workstations and I succeeded to install KB3033929 via Windows Update on a system with Windows 7 Professional SP1.

    @Shodan2k only! => Is KB3035131 already listed in Installed Updates (not Update History)?

    <EDIT>

    Is GNU GRUB boot loader installed?
