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? https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3033929 System information: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (ver. 6.1.7601) HP Envy 14-1090eo Core i5 14.5" Software running in the background: CrashPlan 3+ Backup Dropbox Avast!

I recently went through this issue and finally was able to get the update to install by using MS-Config to set the computer to do a diagnostic start-up, installing the update, then rebooting into diagnostic mode. The update installed and I then rebooted in normal mode. Either that or my ninth attempt was the charm!

Hello Folks, Just to add my 2 cents: Computer is Gateway NV53 Equipped with: AMD Turion II X2 M500 500GB hdd 4GB Mem Running Win7 Home SP1 64-bit Laptop has been up to date until this Update KB3033939, but it also has KB3035131(which was installed 3/2015, and still is) and KB2949927(which was installed 10/2014, and still is). After going back to a previous setpoint to make it boot, I disabled Auto Updates and ran Manual Updates, selected OUT KB3033939 and (re)-installed all other Updates. I did try to again install KB3033939 but was forced to go back and repeat above procedure to make the machine boot. As of now I haven't tried to uninstall these updates; KB3035131 and KB2949927, then install KB3033939, but am willing to try.

Hello Folks,

Just to add my 2 cents:

Computer is Gateway NV53

Equipped with:

AMD Turion II X2 M500

500GB hdd

4GB Mem

Running Win7 Home SP1 64-bit

Laptop has been up to date until this Update KB3033939, but it also has KB3035131(which was installed 3/2015, and still is) and KB2949927(which was installed 10/2014, and still is). After going back to a previous setpoint to make it boot, I disabled Auto Updates and ran Manual Updates, selected OUT KB3033939 and (re)-installed all other Updates.

I did try to again install KB3033939 but was forced to go back and repeat above procedure to make the machine boot.

As of now I haven't tried to uninstall these updates; KB3035131 and KB2949927, then install KB3033939, but am willing to try.

What do you guys think?:
