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??
Yes, I am still running Win7, and have no plans to move to Win8, or
downgrade to W10, the demented cartoon edition of windows.
W10 is basically a graphics terminal to the M$ cloud, nothing more.
Speaking strictly for myself, I do not reccomend leaving updates on at
all, or installing them except individually.
M$ consistently adds undocumented contents, or hides the full
description behind a summary, or uses misleading language.
Instead, get the yearly security rollups, then run the anti telemetry
shell scripts so they can't sneak anyting in.
Nearly all security updates for windows itself concern IE, OE, or IIS.
Do not use any of them and your attackable profile is reduced to a
miniscule fraction.
For myself, I run Win7 with a few extras.
Openshell, set as classic as I can make it.
7+ taskbar switcher.
Network activity indicator.
Explorer++, an open source replacement.
I get ~90% of a good GUI back.
I also replace windows search with voidtools everything.
It is faster, more consistent, and supports network searches.
It also recently began supporting content based searches as well.
This is what I do, do what works for you.
