Not so fast! On installing this update.
Installed KB5003690 (tried) on five rigs. Three no issue, one refused to install, and worst of all one started BSOD constantly after installing. Removed from that rig and all was fine and returned to normal. Reinstalled KB5003690 to verify this was the issue and yes, the BSOD issues returned, again uninstalled and all returned normal again. I'm satisfied in saying that KB5003690 is / was the issue.

Attn All:
I had the same issue with KB5004945, yet was able to uninstall with success and even better yet was able to hide the update from trying to reinstall using
wushowhide.diagcab. Yes, it will hide and prevent it from installing. You can search for it or go get it at "Major Geeks."
MS longer supplies this from what I understand.
Hope this helps.

What worries me is the lack of response from someone who actually works for Microsoft, we are 5 pages in now, with people describing similar problems with the same update, on completely different hardware and OS versions.
Is there anybody who had problems who has tried the update on the same hardware after reinstalling windows, like on a fresh install?
This might not be hardware related...
i was going to say "i am not willing to test anything for MS anymore" and after seeing the replies here i am absolutely not installing their optional updates anymore. it's very discouraging to see the poor quality of the MS work lately.
Nope. Same problem with KB5004945 as with 3690 on my FX desktop. My daughter installed it on her i7 gaming desktop and all was fine.
Hello @DaveM121,
could you please give us an update to that problem? Thank you
