    Windows update, window closes and reopens, Malware ? or legit


    Hi all,
    I tried to search for this anomaly but did not find a post.
    1.) Control Panel
    2.) Windows Update
    3.) "Windows must install update to update, update window will close and reopen"

    I have never seen this before.
    Is this normal or a sign of malware being loaded to my kernel ?
    Fresh install.

    Thank you.
    LP

    Edit: the PC did not reboot during this update.

    Hi Linux,
    seems pretty unusuall to me.
    Standard message from WU either shutdown/update now or postpone.

    As you said its a fresh install, were'd you get the ISO???
    (i see its a retail motherboard)
    It could be compromised.

    On my last couple of Clean Installs I got the same message.
    I installed the KB as requested and things went well. I was using a OEM Microsoft Windows 7 Pro DVD. This request seem to be some sort of thing that helps the rest of the Updates to download and install; but I can't prove that.

    I didn't use to get this message. I'm hoping it helps with Windows 7 Updates.

    I bought the install disks at tiger direct
    I have had problems with windows updates on 2 machines.
    But that could be my fault I don't just allow all updates to download & install.
    I check them out first.
    I think it might be part of a MS Fix me script.
    It seems to help, but I am always on the lookout.
    I hate reloading fresh takes too long.
    So when its tweaked I'll clone it to a backup.
    At least I am not alone in this Strange thing. :lol
