    Thanks
    I get the list of installed updates
    Right click the 10 jan 2019 one and select uninstall
    then do a restart.
    the file to be uninstalled is now gone but another one appears. this happened many times

    the update numbers are in the image above - how can i make them clearer?

    should i post the pic on a website?

    It did not work for me.

    If you wish to uninstall all the Updates that came in on 10 Jan, then you have to do each one, one after the other, until they are all gone. Then reboot the computer, you should not need to reboot after each one.

    I guess it is understandable that you do not believe that a new one keeps appearing.

    and KB4103718 has appeared after the update dated 12 1 2019

    Hi Rick33,

    1) change Windows Update to LET ME CHOOSE.
    2) REBOOT
    3) UN-install all those installed 10 jan
    4) REBOOT
    5) Open Windows update - RIGHT click on those problem ones - select Hide
    6)REBOOT
    7)Create Restore Point

    Note the PREVIOUS restore points INCLUDE the problem updates - delete them

    sadly windows does not do that!
    KB3177467 - nothing happens when i right click 12 10 2018 is the date on it.
    change Windows Update to LET ME CHOOSE. well it has been set that way since this problem started.
    new ones still keep appearing! (even with internet off!
    How do i delete the one that right click does nothing?
    thanks for your help

    This is on a windowsclub website
    Microsoft explains why Windows 7 Update KB3177467 failed
    looks interesting

    looks like servicing stack updates were uninstallable
    PC Repair Tool is this just a scam - or will it help? link was on the windows club page

    Hi Rick33,

    That KB is a Servicing Stack update and once installed IS virtually uninstallable
    MS keep changing the rules and its UN-HIDEABLE

    IF this KB is NOT installed - future updates WILL fail, as it has become a pre-requisite
    MS spotted that a lot of W7 users were only installing Security updates only.
    It wasnt originally security see V1 this is V2. sneaky devils

    Make sure you have System Restore turned on!

    To change the amount of disk space used for System Restore Points:-

    Click Start => Control Panel => System => System protection in the left hand pane.
    Close the Control Panel => All Control Panel Items => System window.
    Click C: to highlight it => click Configure.

    Adjust the Max Usage: slider to how much disk space you want System Protection to use => click OK => click OK.

    I hope this helps!
