It looks like Windows 10 KB4023057 has been re-released and the update appears to be causing unexpected issues on some machines. We have come across some isolated reports from Twitter and Reddit which revealed that Windows 10 KB4023057 installation fails.

A thread on Reddit claims that the system downloaded the update but the installation of KB4023057 failed.

According to the support document, Windows 10 KB4023057 should show up on April 2018 Update or older, and it is supposed to improve the reliability of Windows Update.

It appears that the update was originally released in December 2018 and it has been re-released today. Windows Update is trying to install the update on devices where the update is already installed, this results in installation errors.

“Windows Update just tried (and failed) to install a “KB4023057″ update just now. I’m wondering, what on earth does it do? I can’t seem to find a post on the official Microsoft website about it, and any news articles I find of it (from MONTHS ago) talk about it messing with files in the user directory and network settings,” the Redditor explained.

Some users have also documented the problem on Twitter. For example, David Gardiner says that the update failed to install with the following error:

  • 2018-11 Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4023057) -Error 0x80070643.

Similarly, another Twitter handle pointed out that there is something wrong with this update.

Microsoft hasn’t confirmed the reports of failed installation yet, but the issue is not widespread and only a limited number of machines are experiencing it.
