Both methods have issues?

Hi,
My laptop list which is similar to yours but yea post one if you wish too it's no problem but use the link More information for the update-s in question and post a hyperlink for it here
Here's the last one I posted up through October's round that I have not installed
I have not installed November's yet
Probably will tomorrow or Saturday more likely or skip and install November's security only ?

Hi,
No it's a little older install I believe a little over a year ago I clean installed it the old fashion way before MS borked the method

On a fresh install I just install those 2 updates Mike has shown in his tut, then I only install the 1st round of security updates, then I go through the recommended and important updates 1 at a time and see if they are even needed, it takes a while but it`s worth it, I have a perfect SFC on a HP SFF desktop I just did today. I did not install that unofficial SP2 update. Way too much garbage in there we don`t need.

And I only do 20 or 30 updates at a time, running SFC in between, if SFC comes up clean I`ll create a restore point before installing more updates.

And so on.

I will try to make a new list of updates to avoid asap.
