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.

    I have ASC installed on two computers and one updated with no issues, but my main production computer where I do all my code work was down all day because of this issue. This is not the first time where ASC or a similar program caused Win 10 to not update. I don't know what Microsoft does to their OS that will cause this issue, but seems to happen more often than I care for.

    I just really wished they would get a clue and bring back the option of downloading updates manually, and not having the automated system and the terrible deferment option. I have my PC's set to defer the update, but about 50% of the time, it doesn't defer and automatically updates. I have been losing to much time towards my projects I am working on each time this happens and is really getting on my nerves.

    I had Advanced systemcare installed when it wouldn't boot up. I went in to safe mode, got shut of asc, and now it reboots every time. But... I have the same thing in the power button. I think there's something wrong with the update, not asc. but i will leave asc uninstalled for the time being and i have temporarily disabled automatic updates. I hope they sort this out soon.

    Has any one of you that has the problem checked with the makers of ASC to see if there is or will be an update to the program?
