Exact same issue, over and over again.
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
Ditto!! I've spent hours doing this over and over again and it gets me nowhere!
I'm so tired of seeing this link, it's everywhere!!! So many of us are going from forum to forum and site to site, and STILL can't get a direct download link. I have 2 laptops and on desktop, it shows up on none of these..... Nothing in windows update at all, ever. I have to say that you guys are doing a great job keeping Apple in business! I'm seriously thinking about going back to a macbook, because life is so much easier.
My history also shows this file installed but the win10 says it is not. I uninstalled the update and reinstalled using Windows Update but this did not work. I tried the manual process using dism as described and this did not work either. I am at a loss at what to do next to get KB2976978 installed. Please help.
