    Hi DavidW7ncus,

    Thanks for all of that there...I do know how to get there and see all of that...I guess my problem would lie upon what's good or bad...what to keep or not to keep...I know I can get rid of my IE from here also right? But what happens to all of the updates that went with it? That's what I'm not understanding...because with the update came along a zillion other updates and if uninstall one of them what happens to the other zillion that went with it...(I hope I'm explaining things ok here...please let me know if you aren't understanding me lol)

    Hi DoeZ,

    I'm not a "Windows Update" (or any) guru.
    So I don't want to advise you on what to do, and what might happen.
    With your last question maybe this thread should be moved to the "Windows Updates & Activation" SF subforum?
    Experts there might be able to better answer you.
    Brink is an SF admin and on this thread, so I defer to his advice on this.

    What I suggest is creating System Backup Images.
    When you learn to use backup images, you can try anything you want, knowing you can recover if something goes wrong.

    I always create a monthly backup image before Patch Tuesday updates.
    On my test systems where I make changes, install new programs, try new things, ... I create an image as often as necessary, before "shooting myself in the foot" (again).

    Two months ago MS issued an update for a "Windows Update Cleanup".
    If you installed that update, and ran the "Windows Update Cleanup", I would guess this will make a difference in what you can/cannot uninstall...

    I'm only showing updates from now til 10/10/2013 and I didn't see anything that looked like that "Windows Update Cleanup" that you mentioned. But I also use a program called "secunia" to scan my system once a week to make sure everything is updated and patched if needed. But are you telling me not to do what he suggested in the beginning with the reset?

    DoeZ,

    I added a link in David's post above to help better explain what "Windows Update Cleanup" is.

    Resetting IE would be a good first step in troubleshooting it in your case.

    Thanks so very much Brink...but as I said before I can only see my updates from now til 10/10/2013 so if it was before then I can't see it and wouldn't know about it. So can I just click the link and save it for future reference if need be?

    Resetting Internet Explorer wouldn't have anything to do with Windows Updates.

    fyi,

    I've seen where the list shown in Windows Update History is blank or "short".
    Some utility, program, update, ... whatever, wiped this info...
    In those cases, I can still click on the "Installed Updates" that I hi-lighted in post #10 and see what is installed and can be removed...

    Do you see more updates listed in the "Installed Updates" screen than you see in the "Windows Update History" screen?

    No what I'm asking is...is this "Windows Update Cleaner" something that sits by itself...not with what I'm doing now but is it a tool itself moreless...

    It says 177 updates installed. Remember now it wasn't too long ago that the reinstall was done and I had a brand new laptop pretty much.

    Can you post some screen prints of what you are seeing that Shawn asked for in post #2, and you said you would in post #3?
    Other than that, I can't help further and apologize for butting in ...
