I’m getting some reports of users having problems with this update KB4088776. A user complained on Reddit that Resilio Sync was not working after he installed this update.
I also got one user in my office whose update would not finish giving an error 0x800f081f but it was rectified when I downloaded the update from your link and installed it manually.
Softpedia also mentions about the problems but there is no surety about how widespread this problem is. My advice would be that you should check your Windows Update setting. If the update is failing, you should download the update manually and restart your computer.
