Caused various problems.
Try several previous dates in system restore but each one fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys


Ps I would rather avoid going back to the factory state!

Hi rick33,

It automatically updated.
Caused various problems.

Which update are we talking about specifically?

Most of us have automatic WU [Windows Update] turned off. We will only install the latest updates once we know that there are OK and will not cause any problems/issues!

Hi rick33,

Kb448063 and kb4480970.
PS I have disabled avg antivirus. Did not help

I can see the second one is the January 8, 2019 - KB4480970 (Monthly Rollup).

The first one seems to be the problem because when I Googled it, it comes up in Japanese and says something about Patch defect. Can not access shared folder after applying KB4480970!

I hope this helps!

Thanks I have gone into safe mode and trying the system restore from there.

Wish me luck!


Ps where do I click to be emailed when kind experts reply?

The laptop restarted but I did not get a message of whether it restored to an earlier time.

Oops kb4480063 is the correct number. trying to key on a little tablet till the laptop is fixed
They are no longer listed. Oops have found them now and will click uninstall
I am guessing restore worked. maybe not!
Thanks
I had selected on the forum INSTANT EMAIL NOTIFICATION

Open Windows Updates & select Installed Updates, located at the LH bottom of the screen. Wait for it to update & then Right Click mouse on the Update you want to uninstall & select that. This will uninstall it.

However, when Windows checks for Updates later it will show up a an update to be installed. Don't install it, but Right Click mouse on it & select Hide. This will prevent it from reappearing.

Rick33. Please refer to my reply on your duplicate Thread.

Maybe he's referring to this quote from that zdnet.com link from Brink (last post).

This time they've found that its January security updates are bricking Windows 7 devices with an errant 'Not Genuine' Windows license error,

How do i get windows 7 working properly again?
and the system restore working again?
as the windows update had a problem
Uninstalling the updates just caused more... see picture above.
even with the internet OFF and the update set to manual.. it still kept putting in another installed update
REALLY do not want to go back to factory specs!!!
thanks

Can you explain exactly how you are trying to uninstall the Updates. Are you using the Windows Update program. Have you done what I suggested in Post #10.

The "picture above" does not tell us anything & it is very difficult to read it.
