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.

    Yeah, I tried this last night on my test system. Didn't work. Went from a black screen to an endless blue circle. So it did behave differently but didn't work for me.

    But these are the type of suggestions we need in lieu of a proper patch from MS. Thanks, wuhugm.

    Before you tried my suggestion, you need to revert the update first by booting into safe mode

    Windows will undo the failed update

    Then restart from safe mode

    Boot normally, then follow my suggestion

    Hopefully it'll work~
