KB3031432 NOT FOUND !!

but it is wrong information
I have not installed the update on my system, because every time the "failure"

[Boggin]

I assume you have done a search for the KB in Installed Updates by entering KB3031432 into the top right search box ?

Run Disk Cleanup as an administrator by going Start - type disk cleanup - right click on Disk Cleanup and select Run as administrator.

This will clean out obsolete Windows Updates and then try the direct download again.

Well I know that, but it still does not change anything.

Installed 225 update, but not found this update.

So did you run Disk Cleanup as an admin ?

Run a cmd prompt as an admin and see what these cmds do for you

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

Then enter exit to close the cmd window.

I do not need this update:
KB3031432

[Boggin]

Then right click on it and select Hide, but I install all security updates that patch a vulnerability, although I don't have this update installed on my Win 7, so it may never have been offered.

Did you run Disk Cleanup as an admin ?

[makinero]

After installing the new (following the latest) update, this update is no longer exist.


Yes, regularly cleanse the system files, update, literally everything! (Run As Administrator)

[Boggin]

Problem solved then ?
