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.

    This is the worst Windows update that I have ever experienced. They messed up big time! I had to disable Windows updates; I was hoping that they fixed this. I first downloaded the Windows 10 Cumulative Update (KB4103721 Version 1803) yesterday. I had to do a system restore, or I wouldn't have been able to use my laptop.  I tried downloading it again today, and I'm still having the issue that the OP experienced, please fix this!

    Nach Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4103721 Version 1803

    läßt sich mein HP Elitebook 6930p nicht mehr starten, Windowslogo kommt noch, dann dreht sich nur noch der Kreis.

    Es ist zum Mäusemelken mit den Updates von Windows. Einmal funktioniert es, dann wieder nicht.

    I had the same problem, black screen and spinning dots.

    Did the 3 switch offs and got to the recovery screen and restored to a earlier point.

    Windows booted ok after this.

    Disabled windows update service, set internet to metered connection with a max limit of 1 mb and just hoping it doesn't do any more automatic updates. I'm using windows 10 home so don't have the defer update options.

    They need to fix this asap.
