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.

    Waaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiitttt Everyone!

    I found the solution!!!

    Open msconfig, services tab, hide all microsoft services, then disable all remaining services

    (Might want to disable all startups too)

    (Relax, this is all temporary)

    Then install the windows updates

    Now it will go smoothly

    After all is finished, you can re-enable all services and startups again

    Good luck!

    I've had that a couple of time running four machines with W 10 pro in my household and another one at school. 

        It took a long time to figure out and I found the solution to restart and pressing F 8, or F 12, (whatever gets you into the boot menu) then choosing my hard drive and it started after I tried almost all.

        Every major update is switching your System Restore points off which can be pretty much disgusting when you rely on that.

      After each update, please create a new System Restore point and it's easy to get back.

      Macrium 7, a free tool, is the best one to create backups which seem to be more important than anything else. First download the program here: https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree

    Install it, create a back up on an external drive. ( You'll need between 50 and 120 GB of space depending on how many programs you are running), don't forget to create a tool you can start the PC with, a bootable medium which can be a memory stick or a CD.

      If you do that you'll neve have problems again. Best of luck!!
