It is neither the first nor will it be the last time that we have to talk about errors in a Windows update. It has happened again in the last few days and it is that the update KB3194496 for Windows 10 does not install correctly.
This specific update has the same problems as others that also have the same problem, that is, it cannot be installed on the computer and the typical " warning appears unable to install update” or something similar.
No solution in sight
The update KB3194496 fails to install and reverses the installation to undo all changes, leaving your Windows as it was since absolutely nothing will be installed on your computer.
At the moment there is no solution in sight and Microsoft has not ruled on it. The only thing users who experience the crash can do is wait for a new batch of updates that are expected to be released in the next few days.
Most likely, the KB3194496 update will be released again later when it no longer has problems and can be installed correctly on our Windows. For that, we will have to see what Microsoft does about it.
Anyway it seems to be a minor update since what it brings are bug fixes and an improvement in system performance, something that all these types of updates normally bring.
Remember that to check if you have pending updates you must go to Windows Update and click on the "check for updates" button to check if you have something pending to install.
Uninstall update
It seems that it is possible to uninstall this update from Windows Update itself, which could eliminate all those problems it causes. To uninstall update KB3194496 do the following:
1. Enter Windows Update and enter the option "update history".
two. Click on the option "uninstall updates".
3. In the new window, check that the update that appears is KB3194496 and right-click to uninstall it.
