Cumulative Updates - March 10th 2020

Maybe it is the brand of PC you have.  Mine is a Dell.  I saw the list of PC's that are having trouble, one being Lenovol the other Acer, and a few others..  It is recommended you contact the Company for your Brand of PC.

But I know if you have a Lenovol you will get NOWHERE with them, even if your PC is less then 6 months old.  A friend of mine just called to tell me, she called Lenovol, they blew her off and hung up on her.  She bought a NEW Lenovol in November 2019, still under warranty, and they basically told her where to go.

So for those attributing failure to install as an issue caused by third party anti virus, I uninstalled my Norton 360 restarted and laptop running solely on Microsoft products. Tried installing using windows update and failed for the umpteenth time. I then tried install with wireless switched off as recommended my a post on the tech site and install manual downloaded update file. failed yet again so no further forward other than eliminating the cause to Norton. As I said previously this is a Microsoft issue.

When I updated my desktop which hadn't been done since January the instal was fine even with Norton 360. What I have noticed checking the records is that KB4551762 installed when my desktop version was 1903, then after updating to 1909 the March Cumulative update went in as KB4541335. My laptop history is different as KB4551762 was not installed at 1903 version but trying at 1909 and failing as is KB4541335.

I tried rolling my update back to 1903 to try and start the whole process from my desktop status but would not let me roll back to version 1903.

The only options left is to leave updates switched off and hopefully it will sort itself out or do a fresh install of Windows 10. I will stick with the former as there is no guarantee that Windows 10 might actually reinstall successfully. Next laptop will be an applemac I think.

To Ruth2340 - You are amazing & very helpful.  You suggestions are spot on.  Keep up your excellent advice.

Hi Can-Can.  If you have someone you can trust and have dealt with in the past, then you are probably wise to let them do it.  After reading many of these posts, and realizing that many of them had Anti Virus other then Microsoft Defender, Malware & Firewall, I made the decision to install them myself.  And I had no issues at all. 

My sister disabled her McAfee Anti Virus and hers installed fine.  It is a choice you must make.  Some have taken their PC's into places they had never been to and were told they needed a new computer, so if you have used this Company before and trust them, then you would be okay going that route.  Understand that I am 80 and just making suggestions on what I have experienced.  

Be sure you already have the 1903 one.  Type in Winver on Cortana search.  It will bring up what you have installed right now. If you have 1903 it will say Version 1903. 

I just "Resumed Updates", checked for Updates, got the Cumulative one first, installed it, then restarted, then went back and checked again for Updates, got the Feature 1909 and downloaded and Installed it.  Took 10 minutes.   Your PC will automatically restart a few times while it installs it.

Only once did I refuse to Install something.

When Windows 10 came out, I had Windows 7.  I got the package to Install Windows 10, but just would not do it myself, so I let it sit there for months, then one day I had a Regular Update that would not install with my Windows 7 system, so I called Microsoft and allowed Microsoft in to fix that update.  While in there for that, he noticed I had that Upgrade to 10 sitting there and asked if I intended to Install it, and I said, I would like to but I am afraid to.  That Microsoft Technician did it for me, and it took all day, so good thing I did not try it.  I have had no issues with Windows 10 since.  That was way back in 2016.

YESTERDAY, April 7th, I had issues with my Internet, thinking maybe it had something to do with the New Updates, even though it had been days since I installed them with no issues since.  I did Troubleshoot, rebooted my Modem.  No success, so called my Internet Provider.  Got recording there was an Outage in my area, would be fixed by 6PM.  Was up and running by 4PM.  So not the Update causing that issue.

Good Luck to you.  Hope this helps you.

I am having issues with internet connectivity after the update. My wifi would stop working after some time and then I need to troubleshoot it. There it says "Default gateway is not working fixed". This happens again n again and it is very annoying. The internet is working fine on other devices and the wifi modem is also good. It is just my laptop that is having this issue that too only when connected to the wifi network. If I connect it to my mobile's hotspot it works fine. Please help.
