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.

    Iobit ACS on ONE of my two faulty installations. In fact the Asus laptop does not have much in common with the HP laptop. The Asus uses Firefox, not Chrome, has no ACS, has no office sw. Only user installed SW in common is Thunderbird mail klient. 

    Would You like to blame that lacrumb?

    I am tired of fans blaming others of MS incompetence and ignorance....

    How many 3rd party programs that worked with Windows 3,1 were able to work with Windows 98, XP, Vista or 7.

    Look at the Antivirus programs,  How many of them have done updates to make their software compatible with every new change in the operating systems.  Every one of them and that is why they are still actively used. But they have to be updated for every change in the OS.

    Other people have found that it is not a problem wit the OS but with 3rd party programs.  IoBit ACS for one.

    I am tired of people blaming Microsoft because 3rd party software has not been updated to the new core of the OS.

    I don't have ACS or other IoBit Software installed. And no, an operating System is called Operating system so it need to make sure that this System is still working with the software it was working before with.

    MS need to make sure their updates are compatible with software if it was running before without problems. Not the software publishers are responsible.
