I always update right away, why you say, because I'm bored, if something gets borked I get to spend a couple hours fixing things.

Nice to know I'm not the only insane user who has "Hunting Windows Bugs After Update" as a hobby
I updated this morning without any problems.

I know it's boring, but I (almost) never have any issues with Windows updates.
I just tried another run at it still no go. After 100% installation it's supposed to prompt me for a restart but no the same error message pops up again
Same here.
I'm just pausing updates for a week and I'll try again on the 22nd.

My laptop which I had put into sleep mode before I went to bed, woke from sleep to restart and installed the update last night. I just disabled wake timers, so that it doesn't happen again. The following link explains how to do so.
www.howtogeek.com
Usually I schedule the restart, to delay it for a week and keep doing so, as I only restart when I need to, rather than just to install updates. While I delay restarting, I've never waited to install updates. I let Windows Update automatically install every update it wants to and that's what I've always done.
Some people wait to install updates in case there are bugs, or avoid certain updates because they are causing problems for some people. But, I've never done that. It has been my experience over many years, that it is exceptionally rare for updates to cause issues. That's not the case for everyone, but it is for me.

Are you using O&O Shut (when I used it I had issues with Windows updates). I have just installed the update with no issues on a device running Kaspersky IS. The problem must be related to your configuration.

Count me as another Tuesday update with no issues. I generally always update on Tuesday or Wednesday.
My O&O Shut Up 10 is at default settings. No new settings yet. I plan to do it later.

Is not the problem O&O . On my laptop i have O&O combo with WPD and i have almost apply all settings . I have not any problem with updates
I am no tech genius, but Windows Repair from Tweaking.com has helped me in the past, it is free, but you can get a paid version, the paid version does not correct more problems, but if you like the program you can purchase it. There are videos on how to operate it.

Be careful with this kind of program. Windows Repair once corrupted a Windows installation in my machine in such a way i had to restore from image.
It creates a full registry backup, which can be used to restore any changes to the registry. This should be enough to get Windows working again. Once I had an issue where it would stopped my browser from running.
But it's very rare for it to cause problems. It's an excellent program and the author added some fixes I suggested.
