Several user reports point to issues with this update

Windows 10 April 2018 Update has received a new cumulative update as part of this month’s Patch Tuesday cycle, and although it seemed to install correctly at first, it looks like some users are now hitting issues with this new release.

Windows 10 cumulative update KB4284835 brings several important fixes and it resolves a bug causing the April 2018 Update to fail with a black screen on a number of systems.

Microsoft says it’s aware of just one known issue in this cumulative update, but as it turns out, KB4284835 fails to install in some cases, eventually causing an infinite loop where the update is listed as successfully installed, only to be re-offered again after every boot.

There are several posts on reddit pointing to such an issue, and for the time being, no workaround appears to be available. Manually installing the update does not correct this behavior.

BSODs and other issues

At the same time, there are also multiple reports of the traditional failed install, which in this case happens with error code 0x800f0900.

“There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: 2018-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4284835) - Error 0x800f0900,” the error message reads according to posts on Microsoft’s Community forums.

Others are getting a BSOD or experiencing different issues when trying to install cumulative update KB4284835, though at this point, these problems aren’t as widespread as the ones mentioned above.

It remains to be seen if more users hit such glitches when trying to deploy the cumulative update on their computers, but for the time being, it all seems to happen just like in the case of previous botched updates when there were only isolated reports at first but eventually became widespread issues.
