Ok, so any problems with these updates?

 

[Layback Bear]

I installed them on two computers without any problems.

I also didn't see any KB's for the Windows 10 B/S included.

 

[TVeblen]

Did you check the More Details on all 11 Jack? That would save me from doing it!

Nice!
How do you find that? Link from Windows Update, or just a bookmark?

I just clicked on the Microsoft Bulletin Summary webpage link. However, I haven't had the time to compare the update information (the summary article description vs the knowledge base description) though.http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2015/04/14/april-2015-updates.aspx

There is a KB 2990214 update in the important list that says it will help prepare your computer to be able to upgrade to a newer version of windows. Sure is a real PIA to have to read every one now.
Art.

I saw it on the website it and says:

Update that enables you to upgrade from Windows 7 to a later version of Windows

I have 20 on the list counting the monthly MSRT.

After the Windows 7 updates this morning I noticed that these 2 updates have been reinstalled. KB 3004375 & KB 3031432 again.
This is in fact the 9th time these have been installed since the 15th March 2015.

I have run Win Disc Clean up as Administrator perhaps twice in that time yet these keep on being reinstalled. However they are not shown in the Installed Updates at all, even going back to 2014.

Has anyone else noticed this odd behaviour with these 2 updates?.

Those are indeed 2 of the updates that are messed up by the Disk Cleanup issue. On my system, they did indeed have to be "reinstalled" a few times before they would "take" and stop showing up as uninstalled.

Thanks for the info tblob, I am aware of problems with Disc Clean Up & have had a few updates reinstall after running it, but these 2 are becoming ridiculous & are continually being reinstalled, but are not showing as having been installed in Installed Updates.

If they were showing up in Installed Updates & were removed when running Disc Clean Up & then reinstalled I would say all is well. But these 2 are behaving very oddly.

I had same problems, I got it sorted by downloading them from Microsoft as stand alone installers, been good ever since.

Got 10 of these and all went smooth, nothing particular about updates preparing actual to the next OS.

Thanks for that info. I downloaded both KB 3004375 & KB 3031432 & attempted to install them, & was informed they are already installed, but they are not listed in Installed Updates.

So I ran Disc Clean Up as Administrator, then restarted computer & checked for updates & sure enough they were there again to be installed, so I hid both of them.

There was also another Update KB 3021952 which is for IE 11, but this update was shown in Installed Updates as being installed in Feb so I hid it as well.

Hopefully this will fix the problem, but I will keep an eye on it when next months updates come through.

Well just a quick note to say that for each of the Windows Updates issues during the last 3 or 4 months any time an update has been pulled I've rolled back my system and reinstalled updates minus the problem ones that were then no longer offered. Seems to have worked. I've been avoiding adavanced disk cleanup for the time being but ususally run it a week or so after installing updates.

Yes, it does seem that Disc Clean Up using the run as Administrator mode is causing all these Update reruns.
