Bountyhunter50 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 What's up gang! OK, I call upon the wizards. I offer bandwidth to sacrifice! (Corny joke..) OK so here is the skinny: I have a computer at work. It's been a problem child since the opening (few years at least). Windows 7 32bit, Enterprise, on our server. It's been stuck on an update that I have officially ran out of options except a "Windows Repair". ** Security Update for WIndows 7 (KB2864202) ** - I've tried using Windows Update Troubleshooter. Nothing. - I've done SFC. Nothing. - I've tried installing VIA the stand-alone installer and downloading the update itself and installing. Nothing. - I've renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder to softwaredistribution.old. Nothing - I've ran chkdsk /f /r - Apparently the /f & the /r tags are DOA in windows 7..? at the time of writing this, I'm running a Defraggler scan , I read somewhere that sholves the issue. I've also seen a lot of articles referencing this update with Windows Vista (which is unsetling) Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not open up windows update, right click on the update and click hide update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bountyhunter50 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yep, - Went into safe mode, tried to install both through windows update and the stand alone updater (Apparently WSUS cannot be started in safe mode?) so that's a nope. - I cleaned up the %temp% , even per the link , unsuccessful. - it looked promissing with this XFastRAM.exe, but I don't even have that on this workstation. I'm going to have it Hide Update untill our Monthly reports say we NEED this update. lol Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bountyhunter50 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 GREAT call on hiding the update, I'm starting to see the past Patch Tuesday with Current Patch Tuesday updates. RIGHT ON! Thanks again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 No problem. I've had crap like that happen before. This update is just a USB security update. Nothing really show stopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
