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.

    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?

    When this update became problematic, i found that i could only boot properly if i rebooted from within safe mode. It would do it once then it would be back to square one.

    After reading a lot of comments in here about advanced system care i thought id id give it a shot.

    I am now on my fifth reboot and it boots every time. Shweeet! 

    Something in the update must have clashed with ASC.

    I now have to go and do it on my other machine. Ill report back afterwards.
