Problem with repeated updates: KB3021952 and KB3032359
I install Win7 updates manually upon notification - Automatic Updates is off. I always install "important updates"; therein lies the problem with these two. If I check Windows Updates via:
Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed Updates
they do not show, and therefore cannot be uninstalled via the usual method.
In addition, I have run this command:
wmic qfe list brief /format:htable > "%USERPROFILE%\hotfix.html"
which lists all updates in the "hotfix.html" file in the USERS directory; neither update appears there either.
When the Updates icon shows in the Notification area (lower right part of screen - rightmost section of tool bar), however, the "Your Update History" link shows that the above 2 updates have been installed three times each; in addition, both of them are shown as "important updates" ready to be installed - again!
To remove all prior versions, I tried commands from the command prompt (which I ran as administrator):
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3032359 /quiet /norestart
wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3021952 /quiet /norestart
to no effect at all.
When installing the updates, no errors occurred; no errors showed when I ran sfc /scannow as instructions for posting in this forum say, I received a message indicating no violations:
C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
I have no error messages in logs or otherwise to show; the updates always install without error - three times so far. I may be partially at fault, since I (1)run "Disk Cleanup" daily and (2)delete files left behind by Windows Update. I shall no longer delete the Windows Update files, but in the meantime would appreciate any help in dealing with these two infinitely repeating updates.
Thanks in advance.
