Last week's updates all failed to install, so I followed the
"troubleshooting" procedure of "disabling" Windows Update service, deleting
the appropriate files, and trying again. After 3 attempts with no success, I
gave up for the day.
At that point my "update history" showed ALL the patches I'd downloaded to
date, including those that failed most recently. Last night I decided to try
the "old manual" install method. I went over to Microsoft\Downloads,
retrieved the updates that failed, and tried a manual installation, one at
a time. Each succeeded.
Now for my "new" problem - Windows update "View Update History" now shows
ONLY those patches that were installed last night. Not a trace of anything
prior to them. When I "Check for Updates", all the files I just installed
still show up as needing to be installed.
Help ???
Thanks in advance,
