Problem with update KB4034674

[Dimitris]

Hello everyone,

A day ago i did a fresh install of Windows 10 (Pro) on an ssd. I let it do all the updates it gave me without much trouble but on the cumulative update KB4034674 there is some trouble. It does the installation, i press the restart button and at 19% it writes "Restarting". The pc restarts once, then again at 19% it restarts one more time and the last time it says the update failed restoring settings and it just boots into windows and i have to do the update again. It has failed about 10 times now. Things i have tried:
1) Deleting the Software Distribution contents (more than one time)
2) Disabling antivirus
3) Troubleshooting the WU
4)Running a script from Microsoft that is supposed to reset any settings to the registry about WU.
5)Downloading the update manually from the catalog and installing it.

Nothing seems to be fixing the issue. Every time it restarts at 19%. Does anyone have any ideas about the fix? Is there any way for me to skip this update?
Thanks for your time.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Looks like you've done everything that I would typically do to work around the issue you are having.
I think now, that I would consider using Microsoft's Show / Hide to simply hide the problem update for 30 days and see if you have any better luck with the next cumulative update
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...t-a-driver-update-from-reinstalling-in-window

That should give you a 30 day reprieve and prevent the continued failed attempts at installing the update.

Hi Dimitris,

what version of W10 are you using?:

The image attached to the OP shows that the update that is failing is intended for 1703 and would bump the build number to the latest 15063.540

Yeap, Trouble, you are right.
Version is 1703 and OS 15063.0

Hi Dimitris,

maybe it has something to do with the SSD hardware?:

Is your ISP stopping you from using too much download traffic which may cause the updates to fail constantly?.

Error has nothing to do with SSD.
It's downloaded but just won't complete installation.

It's probably a driver incompatibility issue. Laptops are particularly susceptible. Usually the wifi or wired LAN. Disable them to see if the install completes.

Do not ignore this even if you are on an older version of windows 10 I am now on 1703 thanks to Microsoft engineer. I tried manual download, clean install, restore to factory settings, and lots more without success for 3 days I spent all day at it. Do not hide it or ignore it let Microsoft fix it as I said above, after all it is their problem. I now have a good fast laptop.
