Microsoft yesterday released a new batch of cumulative updates for Windows 10 with security and non-security improvements. Microsoft also published Windows 10 KB4494441 for October 2018 Update as part of the Patch Tuesday, but users are reporting a weird issue where the update would install two times.

For unknown reasons, Windows 10 KB4494441 has been installed twice on a number of devices. Fortunately, Microsoft has already acknowledged the bug and the company is expected to share more details soon.

As per a Reddit discussion, KB4494441 installs without any problems when the user checks for updates via Windows Update. After the system reboot, KB4494441 is re-offered to some users again and it would require another reboot to finish the installation.

Windows 10 cumulative update isn’t offered for the third time and it’ll display ‘You’re up to date’ message if you check for updates again. Users have also noticed that the update will be listed twice on the Windows Update history page.

“2019-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64-based Systems (KB4494441) (2) Successfully installed on 5/14/2019,” the history page reads.

“Yeah, I seem to be installing it for the second time as well,” a user confirmed the problem in a Reddit thread.

It’s worth mentioning that you’ll not face any problems if the update installs twice.

As mentioned, Microsoft has already acknowledged the problem and it’ll share more details soon.

“Windows 10, version 1809 Update Tuesday update may install twice. We are presently investigating and will provide an update when available,” Microsoft acknowledged the bug in an updated blog post.
