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.

    Having read through this thread start to finish, here's my take.

    IF you have 1803 installed and IF your apps and services behaved as expected after the installation, then this patch should not have affected them, nor should any of those apps/services stop the machine from booting. After all, they didn't stop the boot when 1803 was initially installed.

    The issue here is with the patch. Period.

    So for anyone that has deleted an app (ASC 11 for example) or turned off a service, ask yourself what caused that conflict and how many other potential conflicts are lurking.

    Having spent 30+ years in IT, if I found that any one app or service caused this kind of issue I would make sure it was documented for those using the app or service. Microsoft has not even admitted there are any issues other than problems with some Intel SSDs.

    I had to restore my PC to get back to an unpatched version of 1803. And it won't be patched again until Microsoft or a consensus of users can assure me that the patch(es) are reliable. And I would prefer that assurance come from Microsoft. After all, this is their mess to clean up.

    To me, deleting an app or service to simply get the PC to boot is putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound.

    I still wonder why I managed to install KB4135051 on April 27 patching 17134.1 to 17134.5 without any problem.

    IObit Advanced System Care 11 was running during installation and reboot. No black screen to be seen.

    The only issue reported with this patch seems to have been that the update history in Windows Update

    was erased. No black screens and no conflicts with services running:
