When I downloaded the current Windows Updates, including the subject,
everything seemed to go smoothly. I rebooted after the installation and
continued with my work. Then I received another update notice. It was the
subject update. I downloaded and installed it, thinking that I may have
missed it previously. I immediately received another notice of an available
update and...you've got it...it was the subject. I can't get rid of the
Windows Update Icon. What's going on here? I've never had this problem
before.
