    Geethu B, the question wasn't "how do I get this update?" The question was a LINK to the actual update file. Thanks.

    My update history shows I have KB2976978 installed, but when I ask for the troubleshooter to tell me why I don't have the window symbol on my taskbar, it tell me I don't have KB2976978

    Microsoft is running me in circles. I try an use the Windows update catalog and the browser setting is supposedly wrong. I check and I have the correct setting. It says I don't have KB2976978 when it was installed 15 July 2015 successfully. I have Explorer 11 and it tells me I can't do something because I need a browser newer than Explorer 6. I have 5 computers all eligible for upgrade and none have the app.

    Makes me want to quit Microsoft or just stay at 8.1 pro.

    Same here.  I've tried downloading and installing KB2976978 4 times and each time it tells me I have installed successfully, even shows up in my update history as being installed successfully, but alas the troubleshooter tells me it isn't installed.  It's driving me nuts
