Windows 7 Updates « Posted: 15 July 2011 at 09:34 AM »
On 13th July had Security updates from Microsoft for Windows 7 and a couple for MS Office.   These were all successfully installed.  Today, I’ve had an Updates advice message - and I thought the updates seemed familiar.  When I checked they seemed to be the same ones I received and installed on 13 July.

Don’t seem to recall this happening before (double issue!).  Has anyone else received these update messages in the last couple of days?  icon_scratch

Very true.  But it does seem odd that each and every one of the updates that I received on 12/13 July - has now got an update of its own.  It will be interesting to see if these latest updates to the original updates receives an update.

Just an update to this Topic -

Well, a thought really - have there been any updates since the 12 July?  None appear in update history, and requesting Windows Updates merely, frustratingly, brings forth (yet again) the 12 July ones.  Anyone know a way of killing this ****** update which is already installed - and giving me cause to consider changing to an Apple iMac!  Wink

thanks sd - but it won’t help me
Mine is set to “Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them” - which suits me.  Unfortunately, this one update is ‘a pain in the proverbials’ as I’ve already installed and don’t want to do so again.  I just wish that it had a facility to totally reject an update that is not wanted.
It’s just strange that it’s been so long since there’s been a new update.

I've had several this week, ones which have left probs in their wake. Twice I've had to do a system restore after they have come in.

Meryl - they haven't appeared for me - but with the "problems" think I'd rather not have them!  Smiley

But - have found a further puzzlement!  Have been rummaging around in the Update area and noticed the following:

In the 13 July update list there were three Security Updates for Windows 7 amongst that batch which were the last updates installed.

But, clicking on “Uninstall an Update” shows a further 2 Security Updates (KB2544521 & KB2482017) as having been installed on 26 July 2011.   icon_scratch

Think it's a case of "Apple" here I come - core!   Grin
