After analyzing the available data, we’re lifting the AV compatibility check for the March 2018 Windows security updates for supported Windows 10 devices through Windows Update. We’ll continue to require that AV software be compatible. Devices with known AV driver compatibility problems will be blocked from updates. We recommend that customers check installed AV software compatibility with their AV provider.Security updates to Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Scripting Engine, Windows Desktop Bridge, Windows Kernel, Windows Shell, Windows MSXML, Device Guard, Windows Hyper-V, Windows Installer, and the Microsoft Scripting Engine.

Frustrating since this computer is supposed to be delivered to an end user that will freak out if they see failed update on every boot cycle. Why can’t Microsoft produce a problem free patch on a clean install? Time and time again issues arise with these updates. Must agree with Bud Green wholeheartedly that “Time and time again issues arise with these updates”. SIGH… Comment Name * Email *
