Reset the HOSTS file contents

If you had modified the HOSTS file to block telemetry, try resetting the contents of the file. It’s possible that Microsoft has changed the WSUS servers to one of the servers that collect telemetry.

Start Notepad as administrator and open the HOSTS file located here:

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

Remove all blocked telemetry server entries. If you don’t know how to do that, then simply reset the entire HOSTS file, replacing the file with the following factory default contents.

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

Save the file and close Notepad.

Restart Windows and try installing KB4058258 update again.

Still doesn’t help?

If none of the above steps help, you can use one of the following options:

2. Perform an in-place upgrade using Media Creation Tool.
