KB4089848 is a new cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) that increases the version of the operating system to build 16299.334 after installation.

The update fixes issues in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and comes along with the dreaded "update failed to install" message even though that is not the case.

The support page on the Microsoft website lists key changes only which indicates that the update may include other changes that Microsoft did not list. That's a standard phrase, however, that Microsoft uses regularly in update descriptions.

Note: We suggest you back up the entire Windows 10 partition before you install any update on the system so that you may restore it to a previous version if you run into issues after installation of the update.

KB4089848 is distributed through Windows Update but it is also available as a standalone download on the Microsoft Update Catalog website. The Microsoft Update Catalog download has a size of 401 Megabytes for the 32-bit version and 735 Megabytes for the 64-bit version.

The Windows Update version should be considerably smaller.

  1. Use Windows-I to open the Settings application.
  2. Select Update & Security.
  3. Activate the "check for updates" button to run a manual update check.

Windows Update should download and install the cumulative update KB4089848.

  • Adds support in stornvme for additional SSDs.
  • Addresses issue where the Japanese keyboard layout was not functioning properly during a Remote Assistance session.
  • Addresses rendering issue in Microsoft Edge for PDF documents with backgrounds created using various third-party publishing tools.

    This failed for me. Got to 100% then rolled back. Now the computer cannot contact the activation server anymore.

    I left my PC updating, I fall asleep, and when I woke up, my PC does BSoD. After I press the restart buttom, my BIOS seems longer loading the IDE drives (my HDD’s), and then the next secondary boot, they say: “Disk Boot Failure, insert system disk.” Does the update probably the cause of this problem?

    Hi I wonder if anyone can help me Please with this update issue?

    I try doing a Manual Catalog install of KB4089848 and then system asks to restart.

    1) When I restart you can tell that Windows is not begging the FINISHING of this update as there is no progress completed before or after the BIOS beep denoting the reboot of the system.

    2) So basically it is unable to do this major update as this update and the rest below show requires and update that just doesn’t seem to trigger an actual update to Windows.

    3) these are files that say requires a restart to finish
    KB4088785 (9 times)
    KB4088776 (31 times)

    4) It seems to me that the restart install to finish does not trigger an actual install of the updates listed above.

    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mike

      It’s you. My three machines have had zero issues since Windows 10 came out. When I set them up I simply selected recommended settings, installed my programs, and let Windows do it’s thing. Best OS I’ve ever used from ease of use to stability to automatic updates.

        Just because it works well for you doesn’t mean it works well for everybody.

        I agree. I was just answering Croatoan’s question. “Is it me or Win 10 update system is broken.(?)” Windows 10 update system is not broken. Some will have issues, but it’s far from “broken”.

        I was thinking “broken” by design.

        Every year you need to install OS twice (upgrade), updates are enormous (especially if you don’t have flat internet), updates are changing settings and menu positions.

        That I agree 100%. I can’t stand the twice a year “feature” updates. I’m dreading the next one next month.

    After the installation my wifi network card just disappeared out of thin air…. I have a HP notebook with F12 key used to switch on/off wifi card, and the orange light was stuck!
    After 2 reboots, the wifi card magically reappeared! WTF Microsoft?

    Mine also installed fine, but upon reboot, my computers, both a desktop and a laptop, didn’t start explorer.exe, so I had to start it manually from the taskmanager…

    Other than that I don’t have any issues with this update!

    Really easy to read because it’s such a fluently informative article who coached me to the update from main windows10 pro version 1709 to the 16299.334 version.
    The download time, unpacking, installation and restarting were all going quite fast and up to right now without hiccups. Hopefully, it will stay like this.
    Then the only thing that remains is the wish that this fix for the fall update concerning: the error “update failed to install” message, and the other 20 included fixes will keep on doing there job correctly.

    I manually initiated WU for KB4089848 which brought me to Win 10 Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.334) without any issues for me. In fact auto start for Magnifier now works as I want it to. Previously I had to exit Magnifier and then start it again to work the way I wish.

    Be aware that if you have Superfetch service disabled as I did, this update with re-enable it. Only thing I saw after installing this update.
