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.

    Unclear if it is "pulled", we've been asking for it to be unavailable. As of May 10 it seems they were embedding it into systems that are updating to build 1803 (the first week & post patch Tuesday if you "check for updates" while upgrading to 1803 you still ended up with the build 17134.1 ). Since yesterday those that report updating to 1803 (from any previous build) are going right to 17134.48 & this update is not being offered.

    I tried some of the suggested fixes in the comments, this only messed my computer up further. I almost had to do a system recovery, but I managed to do a system restore by going into safe mode. So I won't be trying anymore fixes. I've read that they pulled this update, is this true? I will have Windows Updates disabled until I know that this update has been fixed/removed.

    Unfortunately, this does not work with Windows 10 Home 64 bit. The setting can be made only with Windows 10 Prof. On my notebook with the home version feels this setting or I'm too stupid to find them in the home Version.

    I have now solved the problem with the virtual volume created by Microsoft.

    Seehttps://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/107032-remove-drive-letter-windows-10-a.html#option2

    You take Option Two.

    Than See: https://www.ugg.li/eine-geschuetzte-partition-kann-nicht-ohne-festgelegten-force-protected-parameter-geloescht-werden/

    DISKPART / Then select Volume/Then the comman:

    > delete partition override<

    The freed storage space can then be assigned to the volume in the disk management system again.

    Caution: Do not delete the recovery or EFI system Partition.
