Fixing failed MSRT update in Windows 7 (KB890830 v5.119 )
Windows 7 Professional has been updating fine until 11/15/2023, when Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.119 (KB890830) Failed
Then, when shutting down, the shield with an exclamation point indicates that there’s an update to be performed. The ‘don’t shut me off or kill my power’ message is displayed, regarding update 1 of 1. The shutdown takes a long time. The next startup appears to be normal. Retries don’t succeed. ‘Manually’ install and running 5.119 seems to eliminate the update message during shutdown for one cycle; it will be back on the next shutdown.
Numerous subsequent attempts have failed. I have stopped and started Windows update.
It looks to me as though Option 2 of How to Reset Windows Update in Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 might solve this problem. (Under Windows Update – Reset at Windows Update - Reset .)
Can you confirm that's a safe, sane, logical next step?
Thank you!
