It wouldn't install. It got stuck at Searching for updates on this computer
One of this week's updates (not sure if it was 4310 or 5102) wrecked my laptop which will continue to run Win7.
It got to 100% and stayed there for 3 hours so I had to cold boot.
It rebooted and stayed at 35% for another hour so I did a restore of the partition from my Backup.
I'm going to try them again one at a time and see what happens.
Updates worked one-at-a-time this time.
These last updates are not going at all well. The network update wasn't progressing, stuck on downloading at 0%, so I stopped it. Updates says it was successfully installed but can't see how it can be. The quality roll up, the same, won't progress past 0% and am currently trying to install the malicious software removal and the same thing is happening with that. Have never had a problem before.
In addition to that, there are two additional optional updates, a network card adapter which has also failed.
What a leaving present!

Is Windows Update creating the Restore points before each update?
I create a RP myself as a safety point before I begin to install updates. But with these latest updates, I don't think it's getting to the point where it is creating a RP. I've abandoned it all for now. My laptop is working perfectly at the moment and I certainly don't want to wreck it with these latest updates. I'll wait for a few days.
I was installing each update separately and it seems rather coincidental that it should happen with all three.
Have you also done a Backup of the laptop? That's what saved me.
Yes I have system images going back six months or so, so no harm's been done.
I've just tried again, and all three have now installed OK. The optional updates that came through initially, Broadcom Adapter 802.11n and Intel - Other hardware Management Engine Interface - have both disappeared but there is now a servicing stack update.
I'll leave that for tomorrow, enough fun and games for today!
