My name is Don and I had a little trouble with this update. After I installed KB4562899 today and restarted my computer to finish installing it I went back to Settings and ran a update check again and got a little message in italics to see optional updates. I clicked on that and saw KB4568831. I tried to install that update three times by clicking on the box to put a check mark and then clicking install. What it would do is go back to the page in settings and automatically check for updates. Like I said it did this three times and never installed. I looked in my event log for any error messages that it failed and did not see anything. I then restarted my computer and after my restart I went back to Settings to check if it was there and try it again and low and behold it was sitting there waiting to be installed like a regular update. I clicked on it and it downloaded and installed on my machine with no problems. I restarted it as it called for a restart and had no problems there. I thought it just weird and out of the ordinary for all that to happen. I ran update troubleshooter and sfc and all three dism's to just check and nothing was found on either one. Event logs are clean. Something is definitely strange about that update. Good luck.
Cheers
