Cumulative updates - February 11th 2020

https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/02/16/windows-10-kb4532693-update-is-now-causing-boot-failures/

To uninstall KB4532693, follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + I to open the Settings app. Update & Security and then on Windows Update.
2. Click on the ‘View update history’ button and then on ‘Uninstall updates’.
3. You can now select the update you want to uninstall and click the ‘Uninstall’ button.

If you’re unable to uninstall the patch from the Settings app, you can also remove it from the command line using the WUSA tool. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Command prompt (cmd.exe).
2. Run Command prompt as administrator
3. Use the command wusa /uninstall /kb:4532693 /quiet

You would check your installation history for that.

And you would find three.

or two plus the Cumulative Update. All of which, as I said, work great for most users and it would be real nice to figure out why Dell is screwed up again.

My laptop failed to install this update at all -twice.Its a Lenovo-hope Microsoft are going to get this resolved fast

I have Windows 10 Home on an HP Pavilion Desktop and all these updates install just fine. Never any issues. Which is surprising considering I bought it almost three years ago and it was refurbished even then.

So what interests ME is what is the common denominator in these devices (whether laptop or otherwise) that is contributing to these problems. It is not that the updates are ipso facto "Buggy" but they are "Buggy" only on SOME devices.

Yes it is extremely frustrating when things aren't working right. No one knows that better than me. I'll be turning 70 in  few months and my whole dang BODY is falling apart, My hearts wonky, my arthritis just keeps getting worse seems like every year---and there are other things.

But why is this? It doesn't happen to EVERYONE my age so what did I do that contributed to my experience of the aging process. Could it have been smoking 4 packs a day since I was 16 for a total of 52 years? (I quit two years ago come next April). Mmmmm....COULD BE! Also drinking, using recreational drugs, and generally acting like a flower child who has her heart set on ending as a blooming idiot.

Well, I have stopped ALL of that but there are still consequences.

And the same is true of computers and updates, Different manufacturers tweak their devices in various ways. Some less update friendly than others. Dell and Lenovo are almost famous for their history in this regard, Windows 10 "S" has similarly been known to create issues, So has various third party software such as registry cleaners and antivirus programs.

How's about y'all start comparing notes to see what you have in COMMON (apart from all using Microsoft Products) that may be causing issues and then contact Windows Engineers with what you have discovered at https://community.windows.com/en-us/ so that THEY can figure out the solutions?

I assume Sumit has this in his inbox.  His suggestion was to post on "Feedback Hub".

Windows Key and F key open the hub.  Then share it with Sumit, he will escalate from there.  Anyway that is what I have done.  See previous posts for gif and instructions.

I have only seen destruction no solutions at this time.

The only recovery option open for me was to go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery (left side of screen) > Restart Now > Troubleshoot and follow instructions to remove update (you have 2 choices)  I did not choose the feature selection.  I postponed any updates for 2 weeks, I think you can go for a month to postpone updates.   We can hope somebody will resolve by then.  This is not an isolated one person issue.

Sorry, that is about all I have.  Just a poor user like yourself.
