Successful Updates to Keep Repeating, Tried Everything I Can Find!
Hello:
I am having a very annoying issue where updates install successfully (verified in the update history), and then reappear for installation immediately after they are installed if you check for updates again. They also will show in the update history as having been installed multiple times if you try more than once (exact same KB#).
So far I have tried this:
CLFS transaction logs - Reset
I have tried the numerous suggestions clearing up the Software Distribution Folder and Catroot2.
I have run every MS fixit tool under the sun.
I have completely obliterated .NET from my machine, using all MS tools to remove, clean, repair, and reinstall each .NET package in proper order according to Technet.
I have used fixit tools to repair Windows Update, including properly stopping Cryptographic services, BITS, and WU services.
I have run CHKDSK and SFC.
I have used System restore.
I have tried to manually install updates in safe mode.
I have tried Windows repair.
I can hide the updates and they seem not to show again, but the moment more updates become available, I have to do it again. This means EVERY update that appears, I have to install, then check, then hide again.
I have a lot of stuff on here which would take a week or more to go through and redo if I have to reinstall Windows.
If I have left anything out here, it is likely I have tried it.
I only have a few patches of hair left that I have not yet pulled out.
Most of the MS boards have all the same suggestions which do not work, and obviously you cannot call tech support at MS and expect to get anywhere.
I have run the system update readiness tool, sfc as mentioned above, and I do NOT have any error codes, because the updates show successful installation. They just keep showing up and installing repeatedly. My log files are ready to share, but the zip file for the CBS folder is 4mb too large for the 8mb max allowed here.
Please help, and thanks in advance!
