I'm still not sure what is the purpose of "October 2016 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 SP1". If it will include patches in next months rollup what's the purpose of downloading and installing it now? It seems a little redundant. A preview of the security monthly quality rollup[LIST][*]An additional monthly rollup containing a preview of new non-security fixes that will be included in the next monthly rollup, as well as fixes from all previous monthly rollup. This can also be called the “preview rollup.” And what's with the word "preview"?? Does it contain the fixes or doesn't it? It contains a "preview" of the "fixes" as opposed to the "fixes" themselves? Did these geniuses attend the Humpty Dumpty School Of Lexicography? Convince me this isn't deliberately designed to be confusing for some unspoken motive. I suppose if you're a Microsoft programmer writing machine language 24/7, English tends to become a second language. |

I'm ignoring these "Preview rollups". I'm not beta testing MS updates for them, just because they've been doing a crappy job of it themselves lately!

No need to install unless your machine is affected by one of the issues that it fixes. I suppose that's why it's optional. |

Tried today: "failure configuring updates." What garbage. Addendum: Somehow things sorted themselves out. Computer restarted and I could see that updates installed. Miracles do happen. Addendum 2: On checking Windows Update, I saw that everything succeeded except 3185330, the Security Quality Rollup. I tried 3 times but it wouldn't install. I then downloaded and installed the Security Only update from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3092391. That did it. |

Windows Update Glitches
My PC has been experiencing weird Windows Update glitches since installing this update (KB3192391).
I originally suspected it was related to the KB3177467 update. I first noticed it when I was about to install IE 11. I selected it in the Optional Updates list and returned to the Windows Update "home" window. I decided that I might as well risk installing some optional driver updates, so I returned to the Updates List window. All of the updates (Important & Optional) had vanished except for KB3177467. After several reboots the updates reappeared and I installed IE 11. ![]() Additional I just checked my Windows Update Service settings and discovered that they had changed from "Disabled" to "Automatic (Delayed Start)". I'm certain that I set it to "Disabled" after complaining in my earlier post. ![]() Additional I just set Windows Update Service to "Disabled" and rebooted my PC. When I checked Services, Windows Update Service was set to "Automatic (Delayed Start)". |

I read somewhere that this can be the cause of the Windows Update service going back to Default settings. I think it needs the service to be running to download the definition updates (don't quote me on that as I never use MSE, I use Avast). I don't use MSE on any system or VM and none of my WU settings change unless I change them. If you're not using MSE then I have no idea what is causing your WU service settings to keep defaulting. ![]() |

MES is running normally including getting definition updates while I have WU set to disabled. In fact it runs better that way as it doesn't suffer from the slowdown caused by WU constantly checking for updates each month from Patch Tuesday until such time as they are installed.
I still have GWX Control Panel installed, mainly because I don't trust MS any more but this is a timely reminder perhaps that an additional benefit of running it in monitor mode is that it will tell you if the WU settings are changed. |

Hmmm... Can't be MSE causing the issue then. Possibly a 3rd party program causing it?
All I know is I had WU service set to disabled for a few months on my main system, during the 10 upgrade fiasco (I only kept in Automatic in a couple of VM's), and not once did it ever change by itself. And its never happened to me in any VM I've tested over the years, or on any OS I've tested. No idea what causes it to happen on some users systems. ![]() |

I assume that Avast has been updating itself. MBAM Free updates itself when I run it. Since it only seems to be happening to me, it's probably not an update issue. It's not critical as I will be rolling my W7 install back to my pre-AndroidStudio backup image, at the end of this semester. I can't wait to get rid of Java (and get ~4GB of space back). Maybe it will "fix" itself after some more reboots (like the Update List). ![]() |
