well a few picture to check out. I got notice of updates. I run them, but the failed :-( [ATTACH=CONFIG]1525.vB5-legacyid=2622[/ATTACH]

Thanks Starbuck . I'm using "kaspersky internet security and malawarebytes " oh and still use "spywareblaster ".....will that lot do the job ?

Thanks Guys I can't find any updates. I took the tick out of micro and optional yonks ago. just kept to important. and let me choose what to install :-( Plus some fiddling in the " there be demons " part info from this guy: http://www.infoworld.com/article/3020460/microsoft-windows/banishing-get-windows-10-nagware-isnt-as-easy-as-you-think.html but I can't remember what I done now lol sure sign of alzhimers :-(

Thanks Starbuck, i''ll have a look. but ithink all possible updates have " disappearded " :-( Also while I'm hear........is it safe to still be using my laptop ?

;--) yes they would lol [ATTACH=CONFIG]1522.vB5-legacyid=2619[/ATTACH] when I started my laptop up tonight, windows updater was still looking for updates :-( I checked back after doing this fix, and it's stopped now. I don't think I'll try running it again tonight lol may be tomorrow ;-) But I don't think I've fixed the problem yet :-( I think I'll try next month to get any updates and see what happens :cool:

Thanks Starbuck, I'll see what i can do and get back to you asap.

Hi Peeps, haven't a clue what's going on here. I run windows updates just to see if anything was ready to be updated. But nothing happened, it just kept running for hours. dots flying across the screen, but didn't say " no updates found " theere was no cancel or stop button either. Has there been any changes that I've not heard of ? only thing I've done is update live updater for acer. I didn't even know I had this on my laptop, but it was there ok. in the end I went in to "task manager...services and stoped the windows updater. I then had another go at looking for the updates again, but its playing up still. any ideas guys ![ATTACH=CONFIG]1521.vB5-legacyid=2618[/ATTACH]

Hi guys ;-) I've not had my laptop on this month. Is it the same script with the updates " important ones only " Cheers 😊

Cheers starbuck ;-)

Any change in what we look for in the updates. I stuck to the important ones again " miss all recommend ones. Thanks guys " ;-)

Thanks Starbuck 👍 I haven't rebooted tonight, but I didn't have any trouble at logging in before the updates, so I guess I'm good to go. Greatly appreciated.

I've done the important updates today ( cumulative KB300850 ) is there any of the recommended updates I should do ( rec: KB2976978. KB3123862. KB3132080. KB3135449. Thank you 👍 I'll call back at teatime.

Thanks Starbuck. I took the tick out of that " give me recommended the same way" and I have " check for updates, but let me choose if i want them " When I went back and looked, all the ticks are gone from recommended boxes.
