KB4474419 will not install

This works for me too, thanks

Agreed. MS needs to fix this.

It looks like many have tried different methods, but nothing works. The update clearly has bugs and needs to be fixed by Microsoft.

That is also my opinion. There are dual boot and single boot systems and both fail so I will for sure not change anything with the

boot drives.

This is clearly a Microsoft bug and they have to fix it.

So when can we expect Microsoft to fix this?

Please name a time frame or date.

My machine is always rebooting 2 times before I can access Win 7 Ult and this is absolutely senseless (I am using Windows only

for gaming because this is the last and only reason to use Windows at all).

To stop the looping caused by the doubling of configuration attempts and sucessive boot ups, go to the options page in wu where the file is housed, right click it and select "hide". You can always unhide it later. This will end sucessive bootups.

I agree, after looking at all the back and forth about to handle this problem, it should not be expected that the average user should have to figure out how to make all these technical executions such as resizing paritions, et al.

I started this thread and I'm letting it go till July. If M$ doesn't fix it by them, M$ is going out my 3rd story window.

I should add that I am a dual-booter and I am aware of the method that some have used successfully to get the update to work. I know well how to use the Windows 7 disk to repair the MBR on the windows installation (wiping out the GRUB boot manger in the process) and then reinstall GRUB after applying the 4474419 update. But I have no intention of doing it, at least not before July. That is how long Microsoft has to correct this. I am a patient person.

I am happy you had success, but this looks like a convoluted  work-around that has the potential to brick your installation. I am with  PMaffMS on this. Microsoft needs to provide a proper fix. One shouldn't have to jump through hoops to install a required update, unless of course the goal is to get users frustrated enough to not wait until January to switch to 10, assuming they ever will.
