As ChrisI has quite rightly pointed out this is not a SeaMonkey problem, so I should never have originally posted it here in m.s.seamonkey, so I'm cross-posting to m.general and setting Follow-up: there to continue the discussion. Thanks.

Last Monday (so Sunday Evening USA time) when I checked my Windows Update portal, it showed there was an 80.6MB update waiting to be installed.

(Note: Last Monday, so not the normal Windows7 update, which, if there is one, I usually get on a Wednesday Afternoon (so Tuesday Evening USA time))

Virtually daily since, I've been having to re-boot my Win7 so it can complete the installation .... but time after time after time, the update fails, so the system reverts to the previously installed system .... until next cold boot!!

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?? Can I, somehow, delete the Windows Update from the Control Panel screen .... and hope things get fixed up/picked up next Update Tuesday??

Any other suggestions .... APART FROM UPDATING TO WIN10??

Thanks to prompting from Frank-Rainer, I noted that there were to updates listed

Important (MS Edge) Update -KB4567409
Optional (2020-01 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Win7) -KB4539601

and it was this "Important" update, which wants to install Chromium Edge on my Win7 system, that is causing my problem.

After several days of de-selecting this "Important" update, MicroSoft apparently knows my needs better than I and still wants to re-select and install Chromium Edge on my system.

Does anybody have any further suggestions as to what I can do?? Can I remove the Update from the Windows Update system somehow (although I suspect this would just result in MS sending the update to me again!!)??
