    The update is not applicable to your computer

    Each Windows version requires a Servicing Stack Update (SSU). If you install updates by using Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), or the Microsoft Update Catalog, an SSU is automatically installed as part of the update. If you receive this error message, and if security update 3172729 is not already installed, you must install the corresponding SSU.
    OS Version SSU KB #
    Windows Server 2016 TP5 3173423
    Windows Server 2012 3173426
    Windows 10 Version 1511 3173428
    Windows 10 3173427
    Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 3173424
  • If you are running Windows 10 Version 1607 (Anniversary Edition), the Hyper-V firmware will already have the TP5 boot manager blacklisted.

    For example, when you set up Hyper-V on a Windows 10 Version 1607-based system, if you then create a Windows Server 2016 TP5-based virtual machine (VM), the VM does not start.

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
     
    1. Open the Hyper-V Manager, right-click the VM, and then select Settings.
    2. In the navigation pane, select Security.
    3. In the details pane, select Microsoft UEFI Certificate Authority in the Template list.
    4. In the details pane, click to clear the Enable Secure Boot check box, and then click OK.

      Enable Secure Boot
       
    After you have installed TP5 on the VM and installed security update 3172729, re-enable secure boot. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Open the Hyper-V Manager, right-click the VM, and then select Settings.
    2. In the navigation pane, select Security.
    3. In the details pane, click to select the Enable Secure Boot check box.
    4. In the details pane, select Microsoft Windows in the Template list, and then click OK
