KB3119142 is an update released by Microsoft in January 2016 as part of that month’s Patch Tuesday cycle, but as we’ve already told you, some PCs are experiencing a bug on Windows 10.

Specifically, KB3119142 successfully installs over and over again, with Control Panel showing multiple such installs of the very same update. When KB3119142 shows up via Windows Update for the first time, it is automatically installed with the rest of the recommended updates, and deployment goes just fine.

But after a reboot, the KB3119142 update is offered once again and again every single time the computer is restarted. What’s uncanny, however, is that the patch appears to install successfully every time.

In a post on the KB page, Microsoft acknowledges problems with this particular update and says that, on some PCs, it indeed installs successfully repeatedly.
