  2. Hi Anoop,

    I have installed latest hotfix kb4490575 on my SCCM 1810 branch, the installation shows successful but when i checked in “Show Status” it shows post check installation still in progress.

    I have checked all respective log files but nothing unusual found. Please let me know what we can do to fix this “Post Installation in progress issue”

    Notes:
    1) Hotfix shows installed successfully on both the level
    A) Monitoring – update and servicing status – select update package name “…1810 hotfix kb4490575” – show status (update pack installation status)
    B) Administration – update and servicing – Installed (status)
    2) Done multiple reboot and also note the previous hotfix kb4490434 installed successfully

    Regards
    Fazal Shaikh

    1. StaffAs I mentioned, the console upgrade should complete the post installation progress issue. But you don’t have to worry much about this in progress status.
