KB4055532 got it twice

[Norby]

I just checked my Windows 7 updates yesterday 01/18/18 and there is a new one KB4055532. What's weird is that I received the same update KB4055532 on 01/10/18 and installed it. Why would they be sending me the same update,if it was a better version wouldn't it have a different ID number.

Did the first download really install? Take a look at the status in your update history - if an update fails, it will try again later. I have a couple of instances in my update history where it looks like 2 updates of the same thing, but the 1st one turns out to have failed.

Only got it on PC, twice. Installed the second update.

Both machines run Avast Free. MS Bulletin says AGAIN antivirus may get in the way... so why didn't I get the update on the other PC?

You will have seen Brink's comment - it was re-released. How odd.
