[UPDATED: I wanted to change title of thread (slightly) to accommodate for "ongoing" Windows Updates & Feedback]
[ALSO here is link to original thread on the botched November Updates & Avast Issues]
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=160717.0
OK, wanted to check to see if anyone has tried the HUGE amount of Windows updates that just came out ?
I post this thread here because last month's caused issues.
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=160717.0
To be clear state your O/S (Win7/8, 32/64, etc.) and Avast Version (2014/9, 2015/10).
Thx.

No probs... but I had no probs last month either
-
I uninstalled kb3004394 (Windows 7 x86) :

No problems with the latest Avast.
Edit :
It looks like kb3004394 has been pulled.
-
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit - installed 13 updates with no problems.
-
(5) DELL i5 W7 64-bit Laptops Updated with 20+ updates & Free Avast 9/2014.....all OK.
(1) DELL i5 W7 64-bit Laptop Updated with 21updates & Free Avast 10/2015....all OK.
Note, only Shields installed on all Avast installations.
All Shields and Avast Self Protection ON when MS Updates applied.
-
No problem here with WIN 7
-
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. All updates OK. Avast shields were off during the installation.
-
I am running Windows 8.1 (64 bit) and installed all the updates including the 2 optional updates. I had major issues just like last month. I did not turn off Avast before the update which I probably should have. I used the Avast removal tool in safe mode to uninstall Avast Premiere. After rebooting, everything was back to normal again! I honestly don't know what to think about what happened or what's happening.
-
Windows 7, 22 updates, no problems either.
-
KB3004394 failed to install during update/install process
Win 7 Home Prem. 64 bit, Avast Premier 2015 - both current updates until this morning
Now I'm trying to find a way to get back to the Win update screen to untick 30084394! Clicking the Stop Installation button didn't do anything.
Glad that I checked the forum!
Thanks so much
UPDATE: I crossed my fingers and restarted to allow updates to complete installing. Fortunately, 3004394 didn't try to reinstall and all seems fine. Now I have 2 new updates to install, but not the 4394 one.
-
On my Windows 7 x64 system, the updates seemed to work fine with avast!, but not with Windows itself.
KB3004394 made a mess of core Windows functions. UAC got borked so that .exe files in the Windows and System directories wouldn't run without requiring UAC confirmations (sometimes more than once), everything else ran slower than usual, boot time was much longer, etc. Microsoft has apparently since pulled this one, which other forums have identified as an update for Root Certificate Manager, from Windows Update.
After uninstalling 3004394 but keeping the others that came through yesterday, everything works fine again. So, it seems you can install everything except this one, and should have no problems.

Good heads up but if you "have" installed read below.....if not then it won't show.
http://www.infoworld.com/article/2858738/microsoft-windows/microsoft-recommends-that-you-uninstall-botched-patch-kb-3004394.html
As they point out in the article.......I have MS Updates set to "tell me" about the updates then I wait for few days and then research what MS has borked or not and THEN install. Frankly, this is my strategy with most software but especially Windows, iTunes, iOS, & Avast updates.....a little "wait & see" with a sprinkle of "Google or Forum search is your friend" can save a lot of nightmares.

I have the KB3004394 update installed on Windows 8.1 and haven't had any problems. Should I uninstall it or is this just for Windows 7?

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Releases-KB3024777-Update-to-Fix-Botched-KB3004394-Patch-467248.shtml
I updated/installed the KB3024777 on one of my W7 64bit PCs......went OK....reboot fine, tried few things seems to work.
I did see it shows in the Window Update History but oddly I cannot find it in the Program & Features > Installed Updates.
Anyone else see same thing ? ........odd because I assume they would want to be able to uninstall of this one had issues.
-
Just checked my husband's Windows 7 and the KB3004394 Windows update is installed. His computer is working fine.
-
@thekochs
I believe that kb3024777 is used only for removal of kb3004394,so I guess that is why you
don't see it in Installed Updates.I already uninstalled kb3004394,so kb3024777 wasn't offered to me.
-
Just checked my husband's Windows 7 and the KB3004394 Windows update is installed. His computer is working fine.
Microsoft warns to remove it..........
those who have already deployed it and haven't restarted their computers should delay the reboot as much as possible or remove the original patch files completely from their systems.

-
All those updates went well. No problems. This morning it installed this update KB3024777. Details are here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3024777
No problems after that.
-
This new update will automatically remove the update KB3004394
-
The new update didn't remove the KB3004394 update.
-
oh right that update still shows in the installed update section and even in the update history! I guess it only removed that file but didn't remove it from the update history
-
Should I try to uninstall it? I'm not sure how to that.
-
Don't do anything! It might cause issues. Leave it as it is.
-
Ok.

Just updated on six W7 64bit PCs.....took about 2 minutes for System Restore to create restore point and update took less than minute to install. It did not requite a reboot but I ALWAYS reboot after every software update.
BTW, just my two cents but since MS has had SO many problems I'd change your update from auto update to "download and let me know when ready". I also do this in all software programs....example: Avast. I find a quick Google or Forum search can sometimes save you a TON of headaches on brand new releases that have bugs.
-
Just checked and this update was automatically installed on my Windows 8.1 computer this morning.

Might want to change your MS update settings to "download but let me decide" too, especially after the last debacle you just went through. You can always use Google to check things out a day or two later, and install all updates if all looks good, or uncheck/hide the ones others are reporting problems with and do the rest of them then.

The Windows update has been running for 3 hours now and has my Win7 laptop running flat out (can just about manage to type this).
Looking at Avast (version 2015 10.0.2208) Realtime data, I can see endless Windows activity, but also some random activity related to my personal files.
Any idea what's happening here? Advice please. Thanks.

I assume you are not talking about just this last update.......but had others prior not installed ?
If so, I did have one PC that did run for a LONG time.....but finally finished.
To be honest, hard to tell other than re-boot couple times, re-check manually if Windows has any updates, spend day or two using PC a lot and see how responds.

UPDATE: I've re-named the thread title to be more generic on Windows Update "dates" so perhaps to use as an ongoing thread. Once new updates come out we can start the next reply/post with the date & KB info. I think this subject is one that is important to health of PCs and the interaction with Avast obviously key. Anyway, if all is well perhaps a good thread for quick check before you dive into new updates blindly.
Seems as of this post we are past the ill-fated November updates and the December patches.
See you in January. :)
-
I've taken your advice and checked performance over a couple of days. Sure enough, everything has been stable since the downloads completed.
I have to admit to never really paying attention to MS updates over the years, so obviously they've not caused me grief before this. Checking the update history, I see that on the day in question - Dec 19th - there were 120 downloads. During the whole of November there were fewer than 20. My settings allow for updates to be installed automatically (see attached), is that the best option?
Thanks for your help.
-

It is just my opinion but software packages like Windows, iTunes, iOS (for iPhone), Avast need some research before you blindly install latest updates. I am BIG fan of Avast but not fan at all of their Fall releases.....I wait for example six months to have Avast get all their bugs out. For me, these type software packages have catastrophic effects if something goes wrong...at a minimum you'll spend day(s) getting things back to normal. So, the risk/reward of being on the "bleeding" edge of updates is not worth it. So, to your question I set my updates for basically the "let me know there are updates and I'll download and install". You get the pop-up and this can be a notice to do some quick Googling. I can tell you some research time up front can save a whole lot of headaches.
-
Thanks, that sounds like good advice.
-
Haven't had any problems even with the reported trouble updates.
Windows 8 and 10 all updates without problems.
Now waiting for the next build update for Windows 10.

(January Windows Updates)
All Important Updates Installed OK....see attached.
I also installed the recommended NET Framework 4.5.2 (KB2901983) after the "Windows" updates....went fine.
W7 64-bit Avast 2014/V9
-
Had the exact same experience as thekochs. All Windows updates from today installed and computer is working fine. Windows 7 64bit and avast 2015.10.0.2208.
-
Thanks! this thread is so very helpful!!
-
WSUS installed all just fine this month. Installed recommended .NET Framework 4.5.2 after security updates reboot so if there were issues with .NET, then that would be much easier to peg down.
No issues this month. 8)
-
I had a few updates pending. My PC did crash a couple of times when running them, probably caused by me being impatient and continuing to work on the machine at the same time. Note to self: don't. ::)

"Note To You".........DO NOT. :)
Seriously, I hit update, cross my fingers, but truly "walk away".......watching the downloading & install will drive anyone crazy.
Best to leave alone, let finish, reboot (even if it does not require), upon login let PC settle for 5 minutes.....Windows cleaning up logs, etc.

That time again..........anyone done the Windows updates ?
Post results, O/S version & Avast version.
Note: As a precaution I turn off Avast's SDM (Self Defense Module) in Settings>Troubleshooting while I do the Windows updates.
No one has ever told me this is needed but in past versions of Avast the SDM had issues with System Restore and thus I read into that "things" changing "things" within the deep kernel-O/S may conflict with Avast itself. I'm not recommending this for others but wanted to post.....I turn it back on right after reboot and successful Windows updates.
-
According to some reports, better skip KB3001652 for now.

I didn't install KB3021917 because Microsoft description of this update is vague :
"This update performs diagnostics in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) in order to determine whether performance issues may be encountered when the latest Windows operating system is installed. Telemetry is sent back to Microsoft for those computers that participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP). This update will help Microsoft and its partners deliver better system performance for customers who are seeking to install the latest Windows operating system."

Just finished updating all updates without any problems including the questionable one. :)

That offered me a BSOD with Trap 000015F6 ******* EXCEPTION *******.
I waited 10 or 15 minutes, then tried 'Strg+Alt+Entf' and system booted as usual with 'Configuring updates ...'. I tried to get more information, but until now I didn't succeed.

That's probably why My Win 7 laptop restarted twice. It didn't go into an "infinite loop", it just restarted an extra time. All was well after that.

Same here.

No problems here with my Win 7 Pro updates Tuesday. I simply selected all available updates, and allowed machines to reboot after installation.
-
I'm a little late to the game this month.........been traveling......6 home PCs (DELL & HP) all W7 Home Premium and between 26 & 29 updates.....all went well with Avast & MBAM active during updates.
Just a note, the Windows update did a second reboot during their updates.
-
Those of you who have win 8.1 - do you have the update KB 2267602 installed?
This update failed for me repeatedly until I un-installed avast - disabling it did not help.

Not on my Windows 8.1 system.

Just got back from traveling and I had seen two W7 updates....one Skype (KB2876229) optional and one Important (KB2952664). When I got home the important KB2952664 is now optional. I did a quick Google and got conflicting about this KB working, etc. ....even lockups: http://www.ophtek.com/windows-7-update-causing-lock-ups-kb2952664/
Some say to hide and not install.
Anyone else try ?

I have it listed as Optional and have not tried installation. Thanks for the heads-up! Look forward to reading other comments.
-
I have the KB2952664 installed and no problems.
-
No problems here either :)
Greetz, Red.
-
So I see KB3035583 has moved back from optional to recommended. :o
All Googling shows this is for upgrade to W10.....which I'll never do on these PCs.
I see there is also an optional Skype KB.....which I will hide.
Anyway, I went ahead (today 4/3/2015) and installed on five W7 64bit machine with Avast 9 last release and one PC with latest Avast 10....all went fine.

Uh.... I installed KB2952664 on the 25/03/2015 and it was an RECOMMENDED update. It then got successfully installed and after that I didn't see any issues or problems and not even my windows 7 causing lock ups. Probably this was causing issues to minors and microsoft found out about it and then got it fixed.
-
I have this optional update but I'm afraid to install it.

As you can see above I installed that update more than a week ago, no problem :)
If anyone has concerns over windows updates then do a system image first.

@-midnight - you have an outdated driver for your audio. Go to the manufacturer and find the latest for your audio chip
For all DO NOT run the built in "disk cleanup" tool. Many problems, removes older updates that are superseded by a newer update but are still dependent to each other. I found 23 updates that were removed when they should not have been removed.
KB2952664 is if you want to upgrade to Win8, but no details on what it exactly does in this process. You will also be offered this same update as time goes on so it is not a problem.

You cant get that Realtek update through any provider only windows update 6.0.1.7404 is the version number, Realtek's latest version is 6.0.1.7208 from last may 2014, I also received the Realtek update this evening and though it took along time to install it when through fine.
There is also no problem with the built in Disc Clean up tool, sounds more like your system is the problem.

I installed this update on my Window's 8.1 computer. The only problem I had after rebooting was a red x in Avast task bar so I clicked on fix now so everything is okay now.

The Microsoft Update KB3035583 is an ad trojan to place Windows 10 banners on infected machines. It installs a folder in Windows System32 called GWX (Get Windows 10).
At first it was classified "recommended" but if you uninstall it then Microsoft just resends it classified as an "important" update.
Microsoft support only say that the update will add new functionality for Windows 7 and 8 updates (LIARS!) Avast should treat it as a PUP.

Sorry but if you intend to update your OS to Windows 10 for free, then this is something you'll eventually need.
It certainly isn't anything for your AV to block.

What's up with these 3 updates (KB2952664) classified as optional, (KB3031432) and (KB3004375) both of them classified as important. These 3 updates came up just last month and I installed it and again it came up today and it got installed successfully. Are these 3 updates got to do with the free upgrade to Windows 10 for Windows 7 SP1 OS via Microsoft Update?

Sorry,but calling this a trojan is just ridiculous. It's completely benign and will be necessary for those taking advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10. It does add new functionality and there is no lying, in no way should Avast or any other AV treat this as something bad,
-
Installed 10 Windows Updates on Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate.So far everything looks good.
No problems with Avast.
-
Installed 10 updates on Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1. No issues. Update took 10 minutes to complete. Avast! ok.
-
Installed all 11 Recommended and 1 Optional update without disabling Avast so far no issues.
It also installed KB3013769 which seems to have A/V issues in the past
-
also no issues with installing all (important and recommended) Win updates without disabling Avast (Premier 2015.10.2.2215) on Win7-SP1 64 bit
thanks so much for this thread!

Is it known if the problem with Windows Updates was resolved in the latest version(s) ?
I have a Vista system that was running 2208. Prior to doing MS updates, I disabled avast permanently
(through the icon) so that it would remain inactive through the reboot.
After rebooting, Vista went into something that looked like safemode, but it was not safe mode.
Many of the services had not started and it was the basic desktop (without Aero).
Looked like Windows 2000.
Tried system restore first. Successfully completed but the above situation remain.
Then uninstalled avast + awsclear in safemode. Rebooted, everything back to normal.
I guess I was lucky VIsta even booted, so I was able to repair the system.
Is this problem known and has it been resolved?
-
Hi davexnet,
Your pseudo 'Safe Mode' was likely the native VGA Vista video driver running instead of your onboard Intel or a third-party discrete video driver. VGA is Microsoft's/IBM's 16 color driver dating back to 1987, so it does not look normal; Safe Mode uses this driver as Windows is running minimal drivers in that scenario.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Graphics_Array (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Graphics_Array)
Likely your normal enhanced video driver crashed on boot, and your system ran VGA instead. As you say, lucky you got video at all.

Thanks for the info. Question remains is it related to avast or not? I'm on XP at the moment, I'll log back onto
Vista later and see if there is anything in the event log. Certainly uninstalling avast restored normal operation, and I was
successfully able to re-apply all the updates..
For now I've left avast uninstalled from there.
-
One step more: Use avastclear.exe to completely remove any remnants left over. https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility)
Be sure to move the downloaded file to your administrator desktop before running this tool. It will ask if you want to run Safe Mode when you double-click. Click 'Yes' and your Vista system should automatically reboot to Safe Mode. Be sure to leave the default cleaner settings alone unless you installed avast! in a non-default folder. In that case, you would point aswclear.exe to that avast! non-default folder. If you installed to the default folder as you should you do not need to do anything as it is already set to remove the avast! default folder location. Select what version of avast! you wish to uninstall. Reboot when done.
If you've ever run or installed another a/v solution, or Vista came with a trial version you uninstalled later, see: https://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/ (https://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/)
Download any vendor tools as appropriate. Reboot after running each tool. Set a restore point before running any tools to recover if necessary, but should not be a requirement to do so.
If any old a/v's were run and then uninstalled later, then these left-over files could be the source of your issues with avast!.

Not counting Skype and Silverlight I have 22 optional updates for 8.1. I haven't installed them yet.

Actually one update failed, the "enable Microsoft diagnostics tracking" Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB3022345)
-
I installed on 6 machines.....5 with Avast V9 (I'm so lazy I need to upgrade these), one Avast V10. All recommended MS updates went well and about ten or so optional for MS Office, etc. All went fine on all machines.
Also, side note......I have new MBAM & MBAE & CrytpoPrevent versions installed too...no issues all the way around.
P.S. Did not install Skype.....it is on my Kid's iPads.....that is plenty.

You obviously still have some learning and reading to do.
sfc is the system file checker. This command is used to check for and fix system file errors.
The update in question causes this vital tool to malfunction. Since you aren't aware of this, your comment that
the update didn't have any negative effects is obviously not correct since you haven't used the tool since installing that particular update.
-
FWIW, Giving advice when one is not versed in the subject can cause unnecessary issues and sometimes harmful consequences.
-
So is this sfc tool also called as checking for errors in disk. Open up my computer>right click properties>click on tools and under error checking click on check. Or is this tool totally different from that? So if I don't use this tool i will be fine?

This is how I learn and gain knowledge and experience from experienced users like you bob3160 and pass that knowledge and experience from me to others :). Thanks to you guys :)

I suspected KB3022345 to be not playing nice with my system. Knocked Reliability History down from a 10 to a five-ish in two days.

@mchain
Thank you. I didn't know about Reliability Monitor. Very cool tool.
-
You're welcome.
If you or anyone else should ever wonder about unseen or unknown problematic programs or updates installed on their Windows system(s), this tool will make it much easier to track down the offending culprit(s) and consider removing it from your system if necessary.
Especially useful when a system in use by multiple users who install their own programs or forget to say something is amiss.
One of the programs I've removed was Secunia PSI. Seems Secunia engineers are not as responsive to user complaints as they should be, and newer versions I installed never fixed the repeated 'stopped working' flags experienced in all versions I ran. For a security-based program this became more than a nuisance issue.

My computer is Windows 7. I didn't receive that error message or any other sorts of problems/issues.
Did you run SFC on your W7 PC and not get error ?

I'm trying to follow your/mchain/staticguy posts......it looks like this KB has issue on all O/S versions ?
Wonder if MS is fixing......typically they pull and re-release known issue KB.

I noticed that Avast blocked part of the download for the May 2015 Patch Tuesday Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830) on POSReady 2009. Subsequent attempts to complete the installation of KB890830 and the subsequent scan failed. I cannot remember Avast previously blocking MS Updates.

That's the update that's causing the problems.
I'd suggest that you uninstall it till Microsoft has fixed the problems it creates.
(right click on the update and select uninstall)

It hasn't caused any problems for me, not yet anyway.

@-midnight,
Bob is right, the installation of KB3022345 is corrupt. You can check it yourself by opening cmd ( command prompt ) as Administrator, run sfc /scannow (system file checker) and look at the CBS log. Maybe you dont have the technical knowledge, but it is as it is :)
Greetz, Red.

What do you mean by all updates. If you also installed KB3022345 than everything is not well as has already been explained
by several people.

Well I'm going to add I had 14 'important' updates for W8.1 64Bit and installed all of them/

Maybe because it is set to hidden? If hidden, then it will not show up again until you unhide it. Current status is as Recommended. (Not as Optional).
12 updates on one W7 system no problems. Of course, KB3022345 update is still hidden and won't be put in until issues with sfc/ scannow corruption are fixed. Not in a hurry to get that one in.
-
None of my updates are hidden and I don't use the sfc/scannow program
-
I can't speak for anyone else but KB3022345 was not offered in my W8.1 updates and not hidden either
-

It is sfc/ scannow. Note the space in between the / and the following command. That space has to be there for it to work or run in your cmd window; if not put in there cmd will throw an error and scannow will fail to run.

Even if Microsoft fixes KB3022345, I'm not going to install it.
http://www.ghacks.net/2015/05/12/how-to-disable-the-diagnostics-tracking-service-in-windows/
-
Most people, including myself, would never know there was an issue because they never run sfc /scannow . I know I never have. That's the only thing that gets affected as far as I've seen. No essential files that actually affect the operation of Windows get damaged. I didn't install the update though.

If you checked windows update and received the message that there aren't any updates available,
Then you're up to date.
Asking others isn't any way to find out if there are updates available. You have no way of knowing when they last updated.
Do your own check and you'll know. :)

Installed 6 updates on Windows 7. Everything looks good.
Avast Reputation Service warning for one of the updates. Installed it anyway.

8 here for 7x64, including the MRT. With the changes in MS's update schedule, last month I switched over to fully automatic, but backed up a notch this month and changed to auto-download with installation when I choose, so I can hide stuff I don't feel I really need (like the MRT).

I had 9 updates for 8.1 64 bit. They usually are not available until after 1PM EST.

I Installed those 3 Win 7 updates a few days ago and had a problematic post-update restart; some services failed to start (including one of Avast's) but things were fine with subsequent restarts and the patches installed successfully. A few hours later I experienced a bizarre 'ntldr is missing' crash which required a hard restart to recover but that may have been unrelated to the updates. All appears to be well now.

No doubt the servers are busy - in the UK patch Tuesday is on Wednesday - just leave it and you will get it in turn.
Personally I would suggest holding back rather than being first in line and ending up with a problem with a botched KB update.

Microsoft Patch Tuesday was traditionally the second Tuesday of the month.

KB2952664 is the problematic one atm. Suggest not installing until proper fix is in place.

Is there a way for the moderator(s) to combine the threads ?
When I started this one I did not see the other. :(
I think this is important topic/thread that will obviously have monthly inputs. :)
It would be good to consolidate....perhaps close both threads and put this as a topic of new "pinned" thread.
I'm sure avast folks would want to see any MS problems.

UPDATE
After forced shut down, restarts, 3 failed attempts with System Restore (0xc0000022), needing to reset Avast, running scan and malware, everything is back to normal. Perhaps I was just impatient with the installation. Will try again later.
-
MSRT update does take quite a while, as it apparently also does a scan. While it scans files, this also triggers Avast to scan them also. If left alone, it completes without problems.

You have to go into "VIEW UPDATES" and disable the upgrade to "Windows 10" to see the other updates. If you don't do this Windows 10 will install.

I did view updates. I can't disable the upgrade now.

"It is not preparing to install 10 otherwise you would get a different warning" from essexboy.
You screenshot shows that the updates have already been installed. Viewing what updates are available needs to be done before
you allow the updates to happen.
Once your system restarts, you will be using Windows 10. At that point you'll see an option in the Windows Update Screen to Roll Back
to your previous version of Windows.
(Good Luck!) :)
-
I did view each update before this last screenshot and none of them showed anything about windows 10. I hope you're right about being able to roll back. I guess I'll restart my computer and see what happens.
-
@bob3160,
I installed all of the updates and win 10 wasn't installed. :)

I'm starting to think there won't be anything that is actually called SR1. It looks like we may be getting these "cumulative" updates on a weekly basis for a while.
I updated and everything seems the same. I also got updates for Office 2007, 16 updates in all.

When Windows 7 (Professional 64 bit with SP1 completely up to date) re-started after the September 08, 2015 update (17 updates),Avast Free was disabled. All functions were turned OFF and Would NOT Start!
Either nothing happened when I tried to switch things on or I received the error: "The AAVM subsystem detected an RPC Error." "Error during resetting to default setting The AAVM subsystem detected an RPC error."
Start-Failed, Update program and/or definitions-Failed, Restore default settings-Failed, Account log-in Failed, Register-Failed. We could not connect your device to your avast account. Please try again later.
Any ideas on the cause of the problem?
I downloaded and re-installed Avast Free and it IS running NOW!

Last night I downloaded 16 important updates for my 'A7V880' (W7 ultimate SP 1, 32-bit), but one of them failed (see screenshot 1).
After end of installation, some of them weren't important then (see screenshot 2)!!! Tricky MS! I call it fraud!
Best of all: that update, which failed, was downloaded and installed as well, after the first restart!!!
:thumbs up:

Today I downloaded and installed 18 updates for 'Laptop A' without any issue!

Installed 19 windows updates on my win 8.1 computer yesterday. After restarting Gmail, Avast Forum and Facebook didn't recognize my FF browser. I always stay logged in to all 3.

re: one update failing, but then successfully downloading/installing after the reboot,
sometimes an update has a prerequisite, that another update has to be installed first. That would explain why it failed the first time --- the prerequisite hadn't been installed yet --- but afterwards, it was then able to succeed.

The failure may have been caused because of those sites open and running. I understand the best practice for updating or installing software is to be sure everything is closed. Glad you were finally able to succeed!

Hi.
I'm running latest Avast free on my second WinXP laptop.
Automatic Windows (i.e. Office etc as XP is unsupported) Updates download but fail to install. Also had errors acessing www.update.microsoft.com using IE8.
I've tried all sorts of things including creating a fresh softwaredistribution database and 'Reset' IE8. But still problems.
In desparation tried switching off Avast shields. Then found microsoft updates installed OK.
So must be something in Avast that screws microsoft update.
I don't like having to turn off Avast shields to do windows upadates, but is a workround for now.
I hope Avast can take a look at this issue.
PS. I had same problem on previous version Avast before I updated Avast program today. So is not just the latest version (i.e. 10.4.2233) that causes te problem.
Has anyone else had any similar issues?
Ed
Just found this Windows Update issues thread. I posted a new thread yerdsterday (quoted above) to notify issues I had with windows update prior to turning off Avast shields.
Is my understanding correct that this remains a general issue, and only solution is to disarm Avast as a work-round when having problems installing microsoft updates ?

You need the update if you use Internet Explorer. It updates the built in Flash Player. If, and only if, you never use IE, you can hide the update. Having said that, I, and many others according to Google, had problems with the update failing to install. I had to download and install it manually. I just saw in another forum where people using the latest preview build did not have any problem with installing that update.
Which update killed your computer? In my 16 years of using Windows of different versions, I have never had a problem caused by a Windows update.
-
@Dch48,
I don't use Internet Explorer but I did install the update which didn't require a restart.
An intel graphics driver broke my new win 8.1 computer. It installed automatically. The next day I checked my win 7 computer and it showed the same win update so I hid it.

This windows update was published yesterday but I'm not sure whether or not I should install it. I'm not ready to upgrade to windows 10 yet. KB3035583
I captured the full screen so don't know why part of it isn't shown.
-
Simple answer: If you intend to at some point upgrade, get the update.
If you don't, don't get the update but also get rid of all the stuff already downloaded to your computer.
Bow out from the upgrade offer and stop receiving these types of updates.

I wanted to upgrade to win 10 on my new computer but since it's unusable I can't.

What do you mean unusable? The best way to upgrade to 10 is not to let Windows do it through the option in that update. It works much better if you download and run the Media Creation Tool and tell it to upgrade. The tool is here; http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10. If you want to be able to go back to 8.1, the best thing to do is to create a system backup on an external drive or USB stick before you do the upgrade. There have been other people having problems with Intel graphics but from all reports, those issues have now been fixed.
People have reported far fewer problems upgrading that way than by waiting for Windows to do it by itself. I used the tool on release day and it worked perfectly and kept all of my over 320 gigabytes of files intact and usable.

My a little over 2 month old computer is unusable because an Intel Graphics Driver was automatically installed via win update. I wanted to upgrade on that one, not the one I'm using now. I did install the win update.

Yes, I edited my post to tell you that the initial problems with Intel graphics have been fixed and you should be good to go now.
-
Nice to know the Intel Graphic's has been fixed but that won't help me now because the damage has already been done. The screen resolution was messed up, couldn't see anything on the right side of the task bar.I tried to do a refresh on my new computer, when it got to 98% it showed insert disk which I did many times so I finally gave up.

Do you have a recovery disk for that computer? If you do, you should boot from that and let it set everything back to how it came from the factory. Then use the Windows 10 Media Creation tool to upgrade. If you don't have a recovery disk, call the manufacturer and ask for one. What brand computer is it?(Sony and Toshiba had the most problems) Also, do you know how to go into the BIOS and set the machine to boot from the CD drive?
-
Yes, I have a recovery disk and it's in my new computer but it doesn't work. It's still stuck on insert disk. My computer is a Dell. No, I don't know how to go into the BIOS and set the machine to bood from the CD drive.

This should help. I's set to use a USB but simply put CD in the first spot and it starts looking for a CD.

Make sure you make CD first and not USB. If it is set to USB, any time you boot the computer with a USB drive connected, if it is not bootable, you will get the message that no operating system is found and the computer will not boot up until the USB stick is removed and the machine is restarted again. It will give you the impression that your computer is completely messed up when it isn't. This does not happen with disks. If the disk is not bootable, Windows just skips it and goes to the regular boot from the hard drive. I absolutely do not recommend setting a computer to boot from USB unless there is no disk drive.
Midnight, turn on the computer and keep tapping on F2 to get into the BIOS. Once there, look through the options until you find something called boot order or boot options. Put the CD drive first and the hard drive second. then exit the Bios saving the settings. this is usually done by hitting F10. The computer will restart and then should boot from the recovery disk. From there you should be able to set the machine back to how it was when you bought it.
Another thought is that usually there is more than one recovery disk. When it says to insert disk it may mean the second one.
-
I have only one recovery disk and I had a hard time trying to get Dell to send me one. I'll call tech support tomorrow and find out whether or not I need 2nd one. If I do I'll ask for it to be mailed to me.
I think one recovery disk was in the box with the computer I'm using now.

That's a Windows repair disk, not a factory recovery disk. The factory disk will reinstall the operating system, drivers, and additional software that the computer originally came with. Most manufacturers will only let you reinstall using their disks unless you go out and buy another retail copy of Windows. You can repair Windows (sometimes) using the disk created from within Windows.

Most newer computers use a recover partition not a disc. :)

Like all tools to help you when you run into a problem, they need to be created before you have a problem.
If you don't do that, you wind up with a real problem instead of an inconvenience.

Had I created a rescue disk on my new computer before it got so messed up I doubt that would help me now.

Installed 6 updates on Windows 7. Everything is fine. No problems with Avast.
Edit :
There was a Reputation Warning from Avast for one of the updates. I believe it was for Malicious Removal Tool.
-
Installed 7 updates on win 8.1..........8 on win 7.
-
7 updates in all. The malicious software tool, a cumulative Win 10 update, a flash player update, and 4 updates for Office 2007.

I only had 2 updates for Windows 10. One cumulative and one for the flash player. Then there were 8 for Office. I'm not counting the malware removal tool.
One of the updates partially reset Internet Explorer which I am using as my default browser. Chrome is no longer installed so I only have IE and Edge. I'd like to use Edge but it still feels unfinished.

Hi -midnight,
Some here are quick adopters, like bob3160 (who already was accustomed to it, before the realMcCoy came out ;D ) and some are somewhat slower adopters like you. There must be room for that. There comes a moment that you are somewhat more forced to switch, like with Vista in a couple of months when Google Chrome browser will no longer update there I have to change at least browsers. Also users with certain older versions of Blue E will be warned by Microsoft to upgrade their browser (at least to IE9 for earlier OS). But support for Windows10 has just begun, so the urge isn't there yet. Well all the time there was this on the back of my mind: "Why ,oh why, Microsoft has decided to so gladly offer Windows10 completely for free or is there an unseen price-tag somewhere?. They never told me the reason....

The reason is that they want one OS to rule them all. The same OS across PC's, tablets, phones, and Xbox consoles with all able to integrate with each other. I recently bought my first full smart phone and I chose the Microsoft Lumia 640 running Windows Phone 8.1 and soon to be upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile. I really like the OS on a phone and prefer it to Android. As far as Apple goes, I have never owned anything they have ever made and most likely never will.

Got this update yesterday but haven't installed it yet. I'm not an IT professional.
Microsoft security advisory: Update for vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge: December 29, 2015
Summary
Microsoft has released a security advisory for IT professionals about vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player in the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer in Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10, and Windows 10 version 1511
Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 and Windows 10 version 1511
Never mind.......I installed it.

The update for Adobe Flash Player (KB3132372) breaks Incredimail, Citibank virtual account numbers and my HP printer software on my machine. I temporarily uninstalled it to get the programs back. I will be watching for a fix to this update.
HP Envy Windows 8.1 64 bit. Everything else up to date.
-
And I will have to live for a while without those programs. Nothing with flash works if it is uninstalled. So its back on the machine. Hope something is fixed soon.
-
I didn't have any issues after installing this update on my win 8.1 PC.
-
They put out another update that fixed it. If you don't run certain programs you would not have noticed the problem.

Got another 8 Updates by using XP Update Extender for one of my XP machines. Everything installed without any issue.

Since Win 10 upgrade (and several updates) I frequently find that when saving docs, the application freezes and crashes, notably Word and Outlook. The MS Office support pages imply that certain versions of Avast can be the culprit, although my 11.1.2253 version isn't mentioned. Anyone know of this problem or if Avast might be the cause?

No problem here with the current version of Avast and Windows 10 updates.

I was just checking for windows updates and at first it showed in red that my computer wasn't able to check for updates. I run the diagnostics tool and it showed that everything had been fixed.

Have you run any disk cleanup programs that would delete your installation history?

Did you check Windows Update immediately after starting your computer? The Windows Update service needs time to start as well as the services that it is dependent upon.

I checked windows update around 7:30 this evening. I did log off and sign in with another user account and that's when I got the red not able to check for updates, then I logged off and signed in with my administrator account and got the red warning again.

Windows 10 latest Cumulative update to 10586.122, possibly has Avast or some other conflict preventing PC into going auto sleep mode. I've Removed Avast completely, tested with Defender, worked fine with Defender
Then disabled Defender, Restarted, make sure Defender still disabled, did clean install of Avast, attempted to see if would sleep, and never went to sleep autoly for some reason.
Started own topic on same matter, no replies though. Defender sure scans slow even on a 8 core based system
Should I try another clean install of Avast? should I wait til next versions out of beta?

It took 2 hours for Windows Update to find 13 updates for Windows 7.

Just Google it.

Yeah it took both of my Win 7 systems a long time to find the updates. The other 2 that are running 10 got them easily and I'm not using Avast.

Windows Update Hanging When Downloading April 12 Patches

Seems no fix yet from MS as Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3147458) here is hanging at 90%
My opinion of W10 is it seems this OS is very unpredictable and certainly not smooth by any stretch of the imagination.
IMO, XP is still the smoothest OS ever put out by MS!!
EDIT: After over an hour the updates finally progressed past 90% and eventually installed.
Very Glitchy!!

Installed fine on my windows 10 computer.

all installed normally for me

11 updates for me,seems to have hung on downloading though.

My opinion of W10 is it seems this OS is very unpredictable and certainly not smooth by any stretch of the imagination.
IMO, XP is still the smoothest OS ever put out by MS!!
EDIT: After over an hour the updates finally progressed past 90% and eventually installed.
Very Glitchy!!
No such problem here with Win 10 Home 64 bit. All installed fine and the one that took the longest, as usual, was the removal tool. Windows 10 has been nothing but smooth for me since day one.

Installed 13 updates on Windows 7. No problems with Avast.
It looks like Microsoft has fixed problems with Windows updates for Windows 7.
It took 15 minutes to download and install updates.

@Bob
It is safe. It is Malicious Software Removal Tool
No one is saying it isn't safe, just that it is of a low reputation, very few of the avast community have encountered this file. Not to mention that it is unsigned, if it were then there wouldn't be this fuss.
Is it the Malicious Software Removal Tool, given that it is being downloaded by AdFender.exe

Probably is being downloaded with IE, but Avast sees it as AdFender since AdFender works as local proxy.

Windows 10 updated fine, Win 7 system still searching for over 30 minutes. The problem is not fixed.

I have 3 Win7 SP1 laptops. They all have much the same software, with minor variations. One found all the updates within 10 minutes, another took 25 minutes, and the third was over an hour. All received 14 Microsoft updates yesterday.
Perhaps once Windows 10 is no longer offered free, Microsoft will remove this annoyance and fix MS Update properly.

Well, Avast isn't only software company to PUSH a reboot and install.........grand old Microsoft too.
Two out of large group of W7 PCs was rebooted overnight with congrats on new 10 install.
This can happen with all the tweaking around of MS putting "recommended" and "optional" W10 items and if you have auto install selected you can get bit by the upgrade bug. :)
I know you can revert but what saved our bacon is to just not accept the EULA and it backs out to W7 right then.
So, did a little searching and found this excellent util that kills the ability for W10 upgrade. https://www.grc.com/never10.htm
I'm not saying there are not machines you should not upgrade to W10....but I prefer new machines with clean W10 installs.
Like most software changes........especially older PCs....you may spend more time getting things to work with W10 than worth the benefits of W10.
Thus, there may be like me some PCs that are going to be W7 until they die.
Anyway, wanted to post the util.

Hi -midnight,
Why did you say earlier on some occasion that you regretted upgrading to Win10?
Like to hear and learn about your arguments,
while some here still have to decide to make the transfer to that platform.

Hi polonus,
I think win 8.1 was easier to use than win 10. Some of the programs I had installed won't work with win 10.
I don't like the way the win updates are installed. I don't like win 10 mail.
There are a lot of reasons why I regret upgrading to win 10.
If I could I would go back to win 8.1 but I've had win 10 installed on 2 computers for over 30 days so I can't switch back.

Adobe announced today an emergency patch for Thursday, June 16, to fix a zero-day in Flash Player exploited in the wild.
According to Anton Ivanov and Costin Raiu of Kaspersky, the vulnerability was used in targeted attacks.
The term "targeted attacks" is one used to describe attacks during which the threat group points the malicious code only against a limited set of individuals. Such exploits are usually found in the arsenal of private or state-sponsored cyber-espionage groups.
Zero-day used for cyber-espionage by new StarCruft APT
The vulnerability ID assigned to this zero-day is CVE-2016-4171, and Adobe says it affects Flash Player 21.0.0.242 and earlier versions, running on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Chrome OS. Flash Player 21.0.0.242 is the company's most recent version, so this means the zero-day affects all Flash installations.
An attacker can use CVE-2016-4171 to crash a Flash Player installation in an unsafe way that then allows it to run malicious code on the user system and take over the machine.
Kaspersky researchers say the group behind these targeted attacks is a new APT they named StarCruft. Researchers say the group is currently running two operations: Daybreack and Erebus.

OK, I get it:
Win XP OK, Win 7 OK, Win 10 NOT OK.
Windows update either takes forever, hangs and requires multiple reboots, or never completes the update with Avast normally active.
Windows update installs OK with Avast uninstalled.
Tests were performed during last 3 major updates. Currently on 10.0.14393.
IMHO, you should not have to toggle any options to get Avast to stop interfering with Windows Update.
At this point, I'm not ready to "try this" or "try that" so please hold your suggestions and let's see if the Avast team will take action on this issue.

This isn't an Avast problem but a Windows insider preview release problem with the latest preview release.

@bob3160: Thanks Bob; however, I am not an Insider (and never have been). I only download and install Win 10 updates when they go GA. In summary, if you and the Avast team are so certain that it is an Insider issue affecting the GA releases, then why doesn't Avast clear the air on this issue instead of remaining so tight-lipped every time a problem is identified and then the problem magically disappears sometime down the road?

These 3 KB updates are only for Windows 7 (KB3192403), 8.1 (KB3192404), and Server 2012 (KB3192406). More info is here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3192403
About these KB updates more info is here http://www.infoworld.com/article/3132377/microsoft-windows/microsoft-previews-telemetry-push-with-new-win781-patches-kb-3192403-3192404.html.
In the second link and the fourth-ninth paragraph it mentions this:
"Before you get worried, be sure you understand the situation. These three patches have been released as a test. They're called "October 2016 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup" for a reason. If you run Windows Update in Win7 or 8.1, they'll appear as unchecked, optional updates. If you don't check them, they won't be installed. And unless you're testing something specific, you'd be foolish to check and install the updates.
These Third Tuesday patches are a preview of the non-security portion of the monthly rollup that's expected to arrive in November. It's complicated, but in short, you don't want to install them yet.
The KB articles have detailed descriptions of the changes coming in November, but they're quite esoteric -- telemetry receiving locations, proxy servers, and registry entries. The KB articles all point to Microsoft's description of the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP). But the description, which is almost eight years old, doesn't mention DiagTrack.
You might draw the conclusion that you can turn off DiagTrack by turning off CEIP, but as best I can tell that isn't true. I first noticed that telemetry-with-no-off-switch behavior 18 months ago in KB 2952664. A new incarnation of the same patch appeared earlier this month.
Bottom line: Those users who install KB 3192403 or KB 3192404 should expect a greatly enhanced DiagTrack subsystem that provides unknown kinds of telemetry to Microsoft, with no easy way to switch it off.
The obvious way to avoid such a situation is to avoid installing the patches in the first place."

Yes got those updates today, Took hours to install though, not sure why though, seeing no problems at the moment though, system seems to be running well, Happened on Both Windows 10 Pro Desktops running Avast Free Version, and Malwarebytes Free, Very Slow Download/Install phase, finally did finish about 2 hours later both of them
Maybe the Server was just hammered, and it was a fluke, and System is perfectly fine, haven't ran sfc /scannow as yet, but plan to when I get a moment to just make sure system files are all good
Cumulative update was the slowest one

Thanks, Bob. I'm going to hang off fiddling with anything until I know it's not a server issue at the MS end (that's why I was curious as to whether anyone else is having difficulty).

My husbands win 7 computer has been trying to install 2 win updates since Nov. 8.
And can you tell us s.th. about those 2, e.g. kb numbers???
-
I can't when it's trying to install the updates.
-
I see, but you can proof before the install! There you can see the 'kb' numbers.

Apparently, her problem is in the download. Once it's finished, so is her problem.

Thank you =Snake=.
To Proof (verify or proofread), open Action Center (Win 10 Action Center is in far right corner of task bar).
Next:
- Click All Settings
- Click Update and Security
- Click Windows Update>Check for Updates
A list will appear showing downloaded and pending KB security updates.
Copy the KB numbers down and post back. Once we have the full KB numbers we may be able to provide a workaround for you.

You could try installing each kb on it's own and see if that makes a difference.

First of all: thanks for visiting my theme. After having installed KB947821 (twice, see screenshot), nothing really changed.

No the windows security update as was this one, I manually installed on my wife's laptop with 8.1. the day before yesterday
having resident free-Avast av and the manual download and 2-phase install went succesfully in just under 20 minutes.
No problems thereafter either.

Hi Damian!
You didn't read or understood my prob.This only concerned W7! W7 is probably the next system (not counted by MS!), which won't be updated like years before!!!
But Thanks for your answer, for it's a hint to proof, if a W7 os is able to succeed in upgrading to W8!

February 2017 security update release
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msrc/2017/02/14/february-2017-security-update-release/ (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msrc/2017/02/14/february-2017-security-update-release/)
UPDATE: 2/15/17: We will deliver updates as part of the planned March Update Tuesday, March 14, 2017.
Our top priority is to provide the best possible experience for customers in maintaining and protecting their systems. This month, we discovered a last minute issue that could impact some customers and was not resolved in time for our planned updates today.
After considering all options, we made the decision to delay this month’s updates. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change to the existing plan.

Got 4 win updated on my win 10 pc today and 4 on my husbands win 7. The Cumulative update failed 4 times but was able to update on the 5th try.
-
The W10 cumulative update failed twice for me (most months it only fails once!) and then it refused to try again. I had to manually download it from the MS website, thankfully that worked at first attempt.
-
No issues for me at all running Avast Internet Security on 3 PCs with Windows update. All 3 PCs updated first time like normal without any issues.
I raise the question that Windows updates can fail in many ways... not always Avast to blame.

Just looked at my update history and wondering why it shows only these 3 updates. I had several updates in March and January, don't think I got any in February. I know the last one is the creators update.
Why isn't showing all of the other updates?

Приветствую всех!! У меня вин7 орблак стоит на компе, я давно работал с авастом лет наверно 10 а то и больше.Но после последнего обновления аваста комп сам по себе каждые 10-15 мин перезагружался такое и с ноутом начал происходит. Взял и переустановил систему установил аваст опять тоже самое. Удалил аваст все нормально пошло. В чем проблема. Если не составит труда пишите мне в почту ilqar-astara@mail.ru. Спасибо за внимание

3 updates on Win 10 today.

4 updates on Windows 7 (2 + Malicious Software Removal Tool and Silverlight) with additional reboot.

Why would I get this win update yesterday and again today?
EDIT: typo
-
This win update has been downloading since a little after 3 yesterday afternoon.
Microsoft Update Catalog can't find any results for this update.

After 8 failed attempts finally got this update installed.
-
Received two different KB's on two different Win 10 machines. One today and the other, yesterday.
What's notable about both is both came in May 9th, and yes, here they are again, before the month is out. ???
Both required going to Microsoft Update Catalog and downloading both KB's. One worked out to 1.1 GB and the other, 531.8 MB, as neither would install normally. Ugh.

Could they be related to this https://threatpost.com/microsoft-quietly-patches-another-critical-malware-protection-engine-flaw/125951/ (https://threatpost.com/microsoft-quietly-patches-another-critical-malware-protection-engine-flaw/125951/).

I was thinking maybe so.
Having Windows Defender run in 'Limited Periodic Scanning' may not be worth the risk, tho.

Even though Windows Defender can be run in 'Limited Periodic Scanning' or even disabled, because it is an integral part of the OS I think that Microsoft would apply all fixes even if it were disabled.
I would tend to agree with that as who knows when you (or Windows) may actually have it run, so it has to have ll fixes applied.

Hi DavidR
Would you have to uninstall avast to run Windows Defender or would just disabling the shields be enough.
Sorry if I have hijacked thread :-[

Personally I wouldn't even entertain the idea of running Windows Defender - if I did there would have to be a good reason to do so - you mention nothing about why/what you are trying to achieve here.
.
Windows Defender, I believe can be set for on-demand scans, but again I have no idea what it is you are trying to achieve here.
Avast can be paused and that should be enough - again I have no idea what it is you are trying to achieve here.
Avast can be set to Passive mode - again I have no idea what it is you are trying to achieve here.
So we are going to go well off-topic here as I don't believe this is a single answer scenario.
-
I asked about running windows defender to update the engine vulnerability, as I have windows defender turned off.
Uninstalled Avast updated Windows defender then reinstalled Avast.
-
As I mentioned in another post related to MS Windows Defender exploit fix, because it is in integral part of the win10 OS (even if disabled) I believe it should have been updates as part of an earlier WU.

KB4022725...............This win update has been stuck on 19% since yesterday afternoon. Win 10 version 1703
Anyone else have a problem with this update?
Edit: typo
-
I noticed late last night that this months Windows Updates have not installed on either of two Windows 10 machines. Retrying Windows Update this morning didn't solve it, and still shows a long list of failed updates. (Sorry I can't post a list of them at the moment, as I'm now trying to manually install the first of the cumulative updates.)
The first error code was 0x8024a105
Edited to add that I've manually downloaded the cumulative version of KB4022715 and it is taking a long time to install. Meanwhile my wife's Windows10 laptop is downloading the automatic updates again. (KB4022715, KB4022730 and KB3186568)

Edit: typo
No.
But when I do have problems I head over here, and manually download the full version required: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4022725 (https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4022725)
Save this install file.
Keep in mind you need the version of your operating system (32-bit or 64-bit) and get the one marked as 'Cumulative Update'. Ignore the 'Delta' version.
Double-click the installer once download is finished.
A standalone installer will run and will take some time to complete. Do not interrupt/cancel the run window once it starts.

What does this mean and how can I fix it? :(
-
I finally gave up on installing that update so unhooked the PC, hooked up another win 10 PC and all of the win updates installed with no issues.

Appears I'm not the only one who had a problem installing this win update.

Requested a call back from Microsoft last evening. A tech finally called me and even he couldn't install this update. A level 2 tech is supposed to call me back on Tues. Is it safe to use this computer without having this update installed?

Something for MS support to answer. ;)

Lets put it this way, before you even knew about this update (and the subsequent problem) you were happy. Whilst nothing has changed other than this particular update not installing, but some of the others in this cumulative update have. So in theory you are still better protected than when you were before.
As I and many others keep banging about you shouldn't be reliant on things always working and or getting infected; you have to have a robust backup and recovery strategy in place (regular hard drive image backups) to from any such emergency.
I haven't even attempted the latest patch Tuesday update, I have my Windows Update set to a limited paid bandwidth so it doesn't automatically download and install updates. I usually wait at least a week before manually updating and monitor such issues in the meantime.
Technically this win10 laptop is less well protected (in regard of these updates) than yours, but I'm still using it, reasonably secure in the knowledge I have my backup strategy in place. Speaking of which I'm just about to run my weekly drive image backup.
-
@Asyn, Microsoft support said it would be safe.
@DavidR, The tech support person told me I could wait a week to install this update.
The standalone installer has been running all night.
-
@Asyn, Microsoft support said it would be safe.
OK, just wait for the fix from MS then. Cheers.

By some miracle I finally got this win update installed. :)

Anyone else running win 10 get this update today? It's been on 24% for over an hour.

Just starting to download it right now.

Still stuck on 24%.

Download finished about to restart the system.

The update failed 3 times so I'm not going to try to download it again.

Looks as if you may need to run to www.catalog.update.microsoft.com once again to fix.
Just so you know, the update in question took 17 tries to install normally (without downloading it from site above) so it is not just you. I take the stance that once it is in, it is done and move on.
-
Odd.
The update installed first time for me via Windows Update without any issues.
-
@mchain,
I hooked up another win 10 computer today and I didn't have a problem installing that update. Now I'm on my newer win 10 computer and the update is stuck on 0%. I'm running the standalone installer and have been all afternoon.
-
Exactly what needs to be done.
Standalone installer (which is what you are running) installs the entire file, and since it is so big, it takes a very long time to run and complete.
Be patient.
Stopping this file from completing will result in a trashed system. Don't do it.
-
Download finished about to restart the system.
I still hadn't run the normal patch Tuesday update (I always hang back, update set to metered connection), but when I ran it manually it completed relatively quickly.
The strange thing that it had cumulative updates for windows version 1730 64bit, but my system still hasn't been offered the Creators update which I thought was 1703, so how/why I'm getting updates for that is beyond me.
-
@mchain,
The standalone installer has been running for around 16 hours.
I opened Task Manager, services and it shows windows update is stopped. I tried to start it but I got this error.
Edit: Another attachment but can't see it. Sorry about that.
-
I'm tired of waiting for the standalone installer to copy the files, running the troubleshooter and waiting for this update to install so I'm going to restart my computer and not try to install this update.
-
Appears to be a problem with your patience in waiting for the update to complete.
You'll probably need to fix the update settings before you will now be able to successfully install updates.

After a recent MS Windows update, my Avast is down. When I point to the icon in the system tray, it still displays "You are protected". But when I open the Avast window, it just says "Avast is down" and I cannot fix it by clicking the restart button or restarting Windows.
My system is Windows 10 Home ver 1709, build 16299.125. I believe the problem happened after KB4054517.

Hi!
After being back from a 2-week holiday, I started the VPS-update manually under avast free 8.0.1497.
But instead of telling me, that I haven't RAM enough to call a certain order, it ran and installed properly. 'thumbs up'
