For those that have an earlier date to December, are they listed earlier as having failed in update history ?
In Win 7 some updates need to be installed first before others, but Vista is alien to me with never having used it.
I wouldn't worry too much about your updates just yet and wait to see WSUS gives you.
BTW - did you find the leak ?
Yes I was having problems with update installs failing too often last year!
Unfortunately I lost all of my update history when I reset Windows Update in an effort to fix it.
However, as a stroke of luck, while I was trying to work out a list of updates that failed, so I could compare them with what I should have, I went thru my update history and saved info to a word document using abbreviations for the update types etc.
It's a little messy, but I did find some irregularities! As examples for a start-
1 The Malicious Software Removal tool, which should download, install and run monthly, actually downloaded and installed on a daily basis several times!
This would have wasted a great deal of my valuable data as it's a very large file!
2 Sometimes it would install the same update for MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials)
3 There's also a couple of other types that installed more than once.
4 I'm also missing update- KB3072310 It's a (.NET Ver 4.5.2) that failed to install- 11/12/15
Something else that may be relevant is- I was having a lot of problems where, every I installed an Internet Explorer update my whole system would crash! Then I would have to use SR in safe mode to get it working again! After a few bad installs of IE updates, with the same result, I decided not to do them again! I understand that microsoft made it a condition, we can only update with that mongrel browser!
After my old HP C700 crashed for the last time refusing to power-up! (I really liked using it!)
I scored this old HP Presario DV5 as a wreck from a friend, it was her daughters, so who knows what was mucked around with, without any guidance or brains so to speak!
Apparently, as a result of all of my searching for fixes etc, I've seen a lot of advice that was applicable to Vista and 7 only, but not including prior or later versions. Even though they are very different systems, it seems they may have some programing similarities?
I still have my suspicions about my main problems as being, the sequence of update installs, but I could be way off the mark?
I can email my update history (Word doc) to you or post it here if you think it may assist?
I've also tried installing SURT a couple of as well as a few missing updates, but when I tried the installation of those file I just sat there searching for updates. Other times it would do the same again and then pop a message the the update didn't apply to my system or words to that effect!
In retrospect, I probably should have brought this to your attention earlier?
I hope some of this saga of info is of some value to you?
Thanks again for providing your valuable time and knowledge to assist me!
Changing topic- I found a small leak where poly pipe was above ground, but I still haven't found the more substantial leak!
It seems yet another mystery to add to my unending list!
It's no wonder that I'm going around the twist! (Aussie slang for screwed up!)
Gee's, it seems I'm a poet, but didn't know it!
