okay, i had this coming... so i hid this useless update but after installing Media Center on my Windows 8 Pro KB976002 either installed with the WMC or after that (in which case my "hide" order got ignored) - either way, this is a messup on MS side, not

user side

 

however the bigger problem is that this bloody update cannot be uninstalled by any conventional means - in the windows updates section it does not have an uninstall option, the app does not have an uninstall option, executing wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:976002

gives me the finger saying update cannot be removed because IT IS REQUIRED (please make me laugh more)

 

please tell me how can KB976002 be uninstalled (and no, i do not accept "it can't be" for an answer) - sadly i don't have a system restore date to get rid of this annoying little piece of ...

 

 

thx,

adam dancso
