Microsoft has released KB4345421, a new update for Windows 10 version 1803, the April 2018 Update, yesterday evening.
This update includes reliability improvements to Windows Update Service components in consumer Windows 10, versions 1507, 1511, 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803, and 1809. It may take steps to free up disk space on your device if you do not have enough disk space to install Windows updates. To use this site to find and download updates, you need to change your security settings to allow ActiveX controls and active scripting. To get updates but allow your security settings to continue blocking potentially harmful ActiveX controls and scripting from other sites, make this site a trusted website.
The update is available through Windows Updates but users and administrators can download and install it manually as well.
The update has been published on the Microsoft Update Catalog website from where it can be downloaded to local systems. The update is available for 32-bit and 64-bit systems, ARM-based systems, and as a Windows Server 2016 version.
KB4345421 is a cumulative update for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016; this means that you download a full update from the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
KB4345421
The update KB4345421 for Windows 10 version 1803 addresses several issues caused by updates released on the July 2018 Patch Day.
Microsoft notes that the update does not introduce new features to the operating system. Note that Microsoft may not list all changes on the Knowledgebase page as indicated by 'key changes include' on that page.
- Addresses an issue that may cause some devices running network monitoring workloads to receive the 0xD1 Stop error because of a race condition after installing the July update.
- Addresses an issue with the DHCP Failover server that may cause enterprise clients to receive an invalid configuration when requesting a new IP address. This results in a loss of connectivity.
- Addresses an issue that may cause the restart of the SQL Server service to fail occasionally with the error, “Tcp port is already in use”.
- Addresses an issue that occurs when an administrator tries to stop the World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC). The W3SVC remains in a 'stopping' state, but cannot fully stop or it cannot be restarted.
Admins and users have reported these issues in the comment section of our July 2018 Patch Day overview ever since the updates were released by Microsoft.
Microsoft states that it is not aware of any issues with the update; this may change in the coming days when admins and users install the new update and report issues back to Microsoft. The past has shown that Microsoft's 'known issues' fails to list issues occasionally (or regularly?).
As always, if you plan to install the update make sure you create a system backup before you do so to have a restoration option. (via Deskmodder)
Should you install the update? I suggest you only do so if you are affected by one of the issues mentioned in the update's description.

Advertisement When you have not received a recent Windows 10 update, this is how to check for updates, how to download Windows 10 updates manually, and install them. Some of you may have used WUD (Windows Updates installer) for older versions and this article shows you the way for the current version. We cover incremental updates here, not how to upgrade completely from an older version of Windows to Windows 10. Please read on to see how.
Introduction – How to Download and Install Windows 10 Updates Manually
Sure enough, most people’s systems have enabled automatic updates to ensure their system is always up to date. It makes sure you have the latest tested updates to help maximize security by patching any identified security issues and making other incremental system improvements.
However, sometimes there can be issues or delays with the automatic update and so you may want to know how to download windows 10 updates manually, and install them yourself. Be wary though, because an update might not appear on a device because Microsoft identified it as being incompatible.
This article follows on from my very popular article ‘How to Manually Download and Install (older versions of) Windows Updates‘. That is for Windows 7 or Windows XP etc. (up to Windows 8.1). However, WUD (the Windows updates downloader in its older form) is not applicable for Windows 10. This article shows what to do for the current version.
General description of the steps
First I will show you how to check for updates. There is a possibility this can trigger your downloads, so worth a try. You might have already done this and if not I have screen copies so it should be easy to follow.
Next we will look at how to find the system type and the build information for your Windows 10 OS. This will be helpful because you will need to know up to which update is your system. To get where you are going you need to know from where you start!
Then I’ll show you where and how to identify the updates you need. There is a trick to this!
You will then need to go to the right place to find them, and I’ll show you how to get there.
And finally for the manual download part, I’ll show you how to actually download the patches.
That is all made very easy with some examples and screen shots.
Finally, I will show you how to manually install Windows 10 updates to your device.
Step 1: Start or go to system Settings
Click the Windows 10 icon on the task bar, then the gear icon for Settings.
You may need to click on the Home icon.
Home icon top left in Settings
Step 2: Go to Windows Update
The last settings category ‘Update and Security’ is the one you need, which is for Windows 10 Update, recovery and backup.
Alternatively to both step 1 and 2, you can type ‘windows update’ or possibly just start to type ‘update’ into the task bar search box and watch for the results to show ‘Check for Updates’.
Check for Windows 10 updates using task bar search
Step 3: Check for Windows 10 Updates Manually
Click or tap on ‘Check for Updates’. This will manually trigger the check.
Ideally there will not be anything else for you to do. This is the quickest way to initiate manually to download and install windows 10 updates.
If for some reason you know it is not up to date, then proceed on to step 4.
Check for Windows Updates (yours might not say ‘You’re up to date’).
Step 4: Check out your Windows 10 Build information
If you are continuing on from step 3 you can get to your build information from ‘Windows Update’ in Settings.
Scroll down and click or tap ‘OS Build Info’.
You will then see something like the screen copy below.
Take note of the System Type (eg. Windows 10 64-bit, x64-based).
Check and record the System Type as you use it later to download the correct Windows 10 patches.
Scroll down further to Windows Specifications. This shows you the build and version information (among other things). Take note of these (eg. Version 1803).
Your data will be something like in the screen copy below.
Step 5: Identify the required KB number updates in the Windows 10 Update History
Click the following link to go to the Windows 10 Update History files location (this will open in a new tab).
Locate on the left hand side the Windows 10 Version number to match your version. Above that will be the updates you don’t yet have.
If necessary click to expand the version(s) above yours. In the example shown below there are four (knowledge base) KB numbers (along with the OS Build number).
List of Windows 10 updates to manually download and install.
You can click each one to read more about the updates. For example you can read that OS Build 17134.112 was released June 12, 2018, and applies to Windows 10 version 1803. They tell you any already known issues with the update and known work arounds you can use if they are relevant to your system. Worth reading if your system hasn’t already downloaded and installed the updates to see if you can see why.
You need to record all of the relevant KB numbers since your last update.
Can you use the old Windows update downloader?
No, the older version of Windows updates downloader is not for Windows 10. The way to get the updates files now that you have identified them, is shown in step 6.
Step 6: Search and Find the Updates Files
Install Windows 10 Updates Manually
Click on the following link to open the Microsoft Update Catalog. This is essentially the Microsoft Windows updates downloader for Windows Updates, drivers etc.
Use the search bar top right to enter each of your KB numbers.
Look down the results to find the matching Product (Windows 10) and System Type (e.g. x64 based systems) cumulative or Delta update.
Click ‘Download’ (as per screenshot below) to prepare to manually download Windows 10 updates.
Instruction manual. Look for the Updates file that matches your system details, and click to download to, well, manually download windows 10 updates!
Step 7: Manually Download Windows 10 Updates
Then in the pop-up window, select the .msu file, and repeat the search and download one at a time for each individual file or cumulative files, to manually download Windows 10 updates.
Note: Before you do the next step, make sure you have all your work saved and any other Apps closed (and also add this article to your favorites first!). This is because the installation process will restart the computer.
Step 8: Manually Install Windows 10 Updates

Find the Microsoft Update ‘.msu’ file in your downloads directory, and double click it to commence to manually install Windows 10 updates.

Okay, so that completes how to manually download and install windows 10 updates.
