- Same issue for me too, even downloading and installing manually didn't help.
- Indeed it is and Irony is that , that Microsoft is sitting quit and hasn't yet updated regarding the issue. Lemme know when the issue is fixed. Thanks
- I did find this from MS which shows you how to install the SSU part manually to get around the issue. I'm still trying to figure if it's worked out.
