windows update

I tried Gohran's method.  KB4088776 is listed as being already installed.  When I downloaded the Delta update KB4093112, my computer came up with a dialog window which said that it was not appropriate for my machine. (I chose the x64 version)

Well, I am a paid client of their Microsoft Answer desk and it isn't helping me out with this issue.  Microsoft, are you reading this???

They don't read their customers' response. Mostly, it is just volunteers who are given titles for kissing Microsoft's a__. You'll never get a response that will be helpful to your question.

Same problem for me.  I uninstalled it and windows defender is starting properly again.

Thanks, but KB4088776 although when I ran the install, said it was already installed on my pc, the log says it failed to install.  And, KB4093112 says it requires a restart, which my machine does repeatedly and this message never changes.  Something isn't working right with these updates.  Windows workaround said to uninstall the January update pkg which I was finally able to do.  Then to install the KB4088776, like you said, which I did without success, and no success with the subsequent one.  Frustrating when I constantly am being asked to reboot, or it just reboots when I am away from it and nothing ever changes.

I too have a 6-year-old Inspiron and I'm not having any update problems on it, but I have had that "log-in" issue.  Try to re-type your password slowly and then hit "enter".  That has worked for me.  this is just one of the many "bugs" in v1709 of Win 10; however, I learned some good news yesterday from an Answer Desk (Microsoft's Paid support service) tech.  He told me that there is a whole new version of Win 10 coming sometime in May (which they are working on now) which, among other things, will address and repair the many bugs in "build 1709".  so I am going to just wait until this happens.  Strangely, however, it's my 3-year-old Dell Inspiron that is having the "Update Issue" and not my 6-year old model.  Go figure.  Apparently, according to the tech, some machines don't have the proper drivers installed to smoothly operate Windows 10 and this is causing problems with updates, but I'm not sure why.  That is above and beyond my pay grade.  But, again, the tech told me not to worry and just wait until sometime in May.  (That's when Bill Gates descends from the mountain with his new tablets!)   Take care everyone!
