    "Unable to complete updates. Undoing changes"

    I have continually received this message after several attempts of installing the new updates. 

    The updates complete and get past a 95% install, then abruptly stop. The above message appears and a complete uninstall begins.

    I get the same picture as above BUT instead of the blue button saying "INSTALL" it says "LAUNCH". When I click on Launch, nothing happens...

    The option to disable Alt+tab for Edge tabs doesn't work. Its buggy. Even if I use it to show open windows only, Edge tabs will keep on appearing.
