KB4022168 issues

It appears that KB4022168 is a pretty stable update. Apart from occasional install problems, users haven’t reported any other issues after installing it.

I have tried unsuccessfully installing the update via the windows update option, it always gets stuck at 11% and says that the installation failed due to an error 80073712. I tried installing it via a standalone installer  too. It gives me an error that the update wasn’t installed. […] I even contacted the windows help center , gave them remote access to my machine and asked them to solve the problem. Still nothing. […] I have seen suggestions to reinstall windows 7, but I cannot since there is a lot of stuff I need right away that I won’t be able to reinstall easily.

If you can’t install KB4022168, the best solution is to wait until Microsoft rolls it out as a stand-alone update. We’re sure that the tech giant will have fixed all the install issues by then.
