How to Fix: KB4056892, KB4058258 Won't Install Other Updates Stuck You can tell which version of Windows 10 you are running by clicking on the Start menu, then type in "winver" (no quotes) and press Enter on the keyboard. According to Microsoft,īoth KB4056892 and KB4058258 are cumulative updates (and large ones at that)

KB4056892 as well as KB4058258 in particular are causing Windows Update to jam and not allow other updates to pass through. I have been receiving a lot of inquiries about this lately and it seems that Remote desktop support service, and he agreed. I asked Jeff if he would like me to connect to his system using my KB4058258 is a cumulative update for Windows 10 whereas KB4074595 is a security update for Adobe Flash update. It will attempt to install the updates, then when I check Windows Update again those two updates are there again. Keeping Windows Update always on, and on automatic, is primarily for Microsoft, and not for Windows owners.I am having a problem with Windows 10 not updating - it keeps telling me that Of course, these random high-priority fixes tend to also be less safe than regular updates, because Microsoft has nowhere near the level of testing and quality control that it used to, and is rushing these fixes out. This means, that a Windows 10 CU installation is safe to receive WU for the duration of the Windows 10 CU period, but when the FCU released, that it was no longer reliably safe to use WU on that system. In my view, a Windows installation has an WU shelf-life, which ends when the major version of the Windows release is no longer the latest release. The 'always keep WU turned on / your Windows OS fully updated' line is Microsoft propaganda, not meant to ensure the most stable and safe performance of people's PCs, but to ensure that Microsoft is always able to install whatever new data-collecting adjustments that they want to, whenever they want to. Since the worst that can happen to a PC (that is backed up) is that it requires a full reinstallation, and since a full reinstallation is far more likely (since Nadalla became Microsoft's CEO) to be required from allowing Windows Update to run than it is from any other cause, leaving Windows Update enabled is literally a major risk to a person's PC. Keeping Windows Update enabled has done me no favours in recent years, having caused me to have to reinstall my Windows OS multiple times.ĭisabling Windows Update, on the other hand, has proven the best long-term strategy for me, sparing my PC from multiple issues, including reinstalls. I mean the forums haven't exactly been flooded with these issues and most of those updates installed 2+ days ago. I would like to know how bad this issue actually is. Every now and then I hear a few youtube and some random tech journalists say that, but I have yet to hear it from experts.
