Working with another MVP we have discovered that the update appears to
install properly and is repeatedly reoffered after installing it.
The issue is that one of the Packages containing a Component update, in
this case, WindowsCalendar, fails to install due to there being no
Windows Calendar folder being present in Scheduled Tasks.
The Windows Calendar folder had been deleted.

The result is the Package fails to install, thus the Components listed
on the KB page are rolled back.
The other Packages of the update do install, thus, the update is reoffered.

Workaround:

Open Task Scheduler, and in the Windows folder
add a WindowsCalendar folder.
No task has to be assigned, just create the WindowsCalendar folder.
Install KB938194 now.
