Microsoft rolled out a series of cumulative updates for Windows 10 last Tuesday, but many users couldn’t automatically install them via Windows Update. The tech giant managed to fix the network transmission issue that caused the install problems on Patch Tuesday, and recently re-released the updates.

Update KB3193494 now replaces cumulative update KB3189866, bringing the same content in terms of fixes and improvements. Microsoft explained that the install issues users had encountered last week were due to a network transmission bug and added that the best way to solve this problem was to reissue the update.

We encountered a network transmission issue with update KB3189866 published on September 13, 2016, and the quickest way to address this issue was to reissue the update to all Content Delivery Networks. This new update KB3193494 has the same set of fixes as KB3189866. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
