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??
What is the kb number of the update? Microsoft rolled out Chromium
Edge to 7 and 8.1 too last week. Didn't do it on 7 because would be
only for less than a year. They plan to discontinue it on 7 in June
2021 and extended updates still run till 2023. So no point
installing i.

Thanks, Frank-Rainer. The two updates are ...
Important (MS Edge) Update -KB4567409
Optional (2020-01 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Win7)
-KB4539601
I'm being told there is 80.6MB update to install ... and the MS Edge
(which I don't have installed) update is 80.6MB so it seems *THAT's*
the update that is repeatedly failing!!
The Optional Update is *only* 314.4MB!!
I thought support for Win7 had been discontinued some time ago, anyway!
I fed that KB number into the search engine of my choice and voila!

If you don't want this and/or it is causing problems, I thought
Windows 7 allowed you to blacklist updates. My Windows 7 update
setting was something like "Notify but do not install".
Thank you for the link, Don.
Anybody got advice on how to "Remove" the update?? I've de-selected
it, so hopefully, in the meantime, that will stop it repetitively
trying to install itself!
Does
https://www.ghacks.net/2010/08/11/how-to-block-specific-updates-in-windows-update/
help? The advice is almost 10 years old but it fits what I remember.
Thanks for sticking with me, Don.
I read the artical then went looking for the 'Windows Update' function.
It only listed the Optional Update.
Even when I clicked the "Restore Hidden Updates" function mentioned in
the ghacks artical, there were no Hidden Updates to restore .... so I
guess this means maybe be over ..... maybe perhaps, but I'm not holding
my breath!!
Thanks for your guidance, Don.
