Windows Update & System Restore Points BUG !?
hi !
2 days ago on 100830 (Aug 30) i restored my system to a System Restore Point created a few days earlier, on 100826 (Aug 26).
as i understand it, everything that has been installed AFTER the System Restore Point are then lost, including security-patches from Windows Update etc.
but when i yesterday realized that my system restore had removed the patch for KB2264107, (Windows6.1-KB2264107-x86.msu)
which i installed (manually) 100828 (Aug 28), i decided to install it again.
but to my BIG surprise the installer told me that it was: "already installed" !?
i started Windows Update, it reports all those updates installed AFTER the System Restore Point are STILL installed !?
i double-checked KB2264107, there is NO entry in the registry for that patch !
and of course there should not be any since i restored my system...
so the BIG question now is: why does Windows Update say that updates installed AFTER creation of the System Restore Point still are installed ?
fx. several updates from 100828 (Aug 28).
this must be a BUG ?
and System Restore still shows all System Restore Points created AFTER 100926 (Aug 26), should they not have been removed "automatically" ?
update:
i removed the "installed" (?) KB2264107, i then rebooted, ran the installer again & then checked the registy, there is still NO entry !?
i don´t know what updates i REALLY have installed now, it looks like i´ll have to restore my System Backup, and start all over again with reinstalling the latest "Windows Updates"...
