Hi Shawn sorry to bug you,
With the windows update service stopped and disabled can you still run a stand alone installer without any errors if these other services are not changed ?
Background intelligent transfer services
Cryptographic
Windows installer

As far as I know the windows update service only affects the traditional built in update searching abilities through the updates window ?

I'm not referring to checking for updates just referring to running and installing a stand alone installer.

I don't remember either. That'll be one to try and see.

Hi,
Nope if it's set to manual the stand alone installer will work
Disabled will error
Thanks
Cheers.

That's what I would have suspected. Thanks for confirming.

Hi,
Yep I thought it had a different function only for the updates window and the stand alone installer took over that process :/
Boy I was off as usual

Hello number42, :)

I'm glad the reset was able to help.

That's an updated KB3172605 that was re-released. The KB article below can give you more details about it.
