This update has some serious issues, specifically. Do NOT install this update after updating to Windows 10 version 1803. It will prevent your computer from booting up. I am stuck on the spinning circle for a long time. I have to use a Windows 10 USB to boot into the Troubleshooting and use Command Prompt to boot into safe mode. Please fix this update!

UPDATE: I have a tutorial on how to fix that:

I discovered that if you installed a program from Iobit (like Driver Booster, for example) it creates a service called "LiveUpdate" with full name, as I remember, "LiveUpdateSvc".

Even if you remove the program the service will remain and this cause the KB4103721 update to fail to boot Windows after the update.

Uninstall all Iobit programs and remove the service from the administrator command prompt typing "sc delete LiveUpdateSvc" (check it is the correct service name) and then you will be updating Windows without any problem.

I experienced this issue on two computers and this has been the solution.

    So I've had this same problem on my detatchible, an actual pc, my dad's old pc, and I went I tried it on an old laptop that I used to use and ALL OF THEM had the same problem. Just chiming in to say that there is definitely something that needs to be fixed here. I didn't see the posted solution until after I fixed them all, though.

    I fixed them simply by going into startup repair (same as the video says) but instead of booting into safe mode, I rolled back the update, and then tried reupdating it after it restarted. Most worked, except the transformable, where I used system restore instead. I am not confidant that it will keep working though, this whole ordeal has really shaken my confidence in windows. That old laptop I mentioned has been having other update-related problems since it got windows 10.

    I cant find any words to express my anger. Microsoft should be in court for severe criminal behaviour. How in universe can this be possible and allowed. Microsoft destroy peoples lifes. NO normal person with a normal life can deal with this madness hell on earth!!!!!! If Microsoft was a normal company they should pay severe fines and have to end their operation ASAP. This is outrageous!!!!!!!!!

    ...and we´re all stuck with them, I´d rather die.
