    As I type into the search bar, the Search box opens up black with no search response. Worked perfectly before this update was installed. Uninstall this update and only this kb and search working correctly and perfectly immediately with no other changes whatsoever.

    But I have one problem. I don't get updates through settings! Well, they will show that the update is downloading.....(and then it will show installing). But after restarting the PC, no changes occurs! Then when I use Windows Update Assistant to update my PC, it worked well and brought many cool features! What is wrong with the update downloading in settings? Please tell if you know. 

    Kind Regards

    To get targeted responses to your question you should start your own post via Participate at the top of the forum.

    Have you tried the windows update troubleshooter. What version and build do you have now?

    I have 3 machines, 2 desktops which have updated with out this issue, and a laptop which has this issue. All are on the same version/build of windows - 20H2/19042.746

    Troubleshooter/Update says it cannot find anything wrong with the system, so as I have said the only way to fix it I have found is the unistall it then prevent it reinstalling using "wushowhide.diagcab".

    I don't require advice on how to fix it, the fix, until M/Soft do something about the update) is to remove it on any machine that exhibits this same problem. And yes I have reported it to M/Soft and never had any response other than to try reinstalling windows

    • seriously bad advice!

    This is the problem with posting in a discussion thread. I was not answering you but another user. If the response to the other user is no good for you then you don't need to comment back.

    You have to accept there is a reason why the laptop is affected and the others aren't.

    If you use the Feedback Hub with the laptop then the telemetry can be collected and a subsequent cumulative update may fix the issue but you need to give as much detail as possible about the laptop and look at the KB changes page.

    These comments are by other users and not Microsoft.
