Installed todays updates but one failure /screenshot

Yeah definitely Ms issue. I'd just leave well alone. The failed update doesn't offer itself again. Better to ignore than try to fix it

This is the update that is supposed to facilitate upgrading of the Windows OS to a new version, e.g. from 7 to 8.1.

It was first offered to me in April, and despite my hiding it then (I have no plans to upgrade) it was offered again in May when I hid it again. It's generally considered optional, and I shall hide it again if it is offered this week. I certainly wouldn't bother with it if it is giving problems.

Oh right I didn't know that. It's definetely to be avoided then as I would not go near windows 8 for all the money in the world. Can't stand metro and the loss of the start menu but I guess that's one for another forum. But thanks for the update, I'll just hide it if it rears its head again

Even though my computer failed to install that update what i did notice is that now my computer takes noticeably longer to shut down. Has to be related somehow

Odd. On my main computer (with Ultimate), my startup seems to have actually sped up, and shutdown speed appears to be the same. Didn't notice any difference on the other Windows 7 computers.

I saw that a report should be done to diagnose this issue , "Golden " was the one i saw mention it . Here is the report.

Thank you very much for the assistance

This update failed to install for me also with MSSE temporally off. Didn't show on restart, so .... ehh?

I looked for this failed update in my computer and found it under C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages (4 entries). And C:\Windows\System32\Catroot\{F750E6C3-3}. All associated with AMD64. Property details say they are related to security and MUM files. Total of 35 files. No idea what these files all mean, but it looks like these updates were installed, but the installed updates say it failed to install...?

I am the impatient type so if i see no responses i always end up somehow fixing it myself lol. Sometimes people respond and help and sometimes it's weeks and still no response .

When they do decide to help they are superb but it's hit or miss.

I uninstalled that update and reinstalled and it installed without issue but the shutdown problem still persisted, i then just decided to restore from an image and reinstalled all the updates again and all is good so i'm happy.

That update isn't even needed unless you plan on upgrading which i am not.
