Fresh install of Win10 LTSB. Installed then uninstalled updates that were accidentally delivered via Windows Update. Now, when I try to use Windows 10 Updates Installer to apply WHD downloaded updates (servicing stack/Flash update/CU), the script reports that "all applicable updates are detected as installed". Clearly something I'm missing is triggering this - the updates were definitely uninstalled, and no longer appear as available to remove in add/remove programs etc. Many thanks for any help, I'm somewhat new to applying updates this way and so would appreciate any input.
Did you reboot after uninstallation? maybe the process was not complete the script check each update .mum file to detect if it's installed
Thanks for the reply. I did reboot after uninstalling the updates, several times. They're no longer showing as installed or on the remove updates page. Obviously something went wrong with the uninstall process - is there any way I can manually remove whatever the script checks for so that I can go ahead and actually reinstall these updates? Thanks again. EDIT: The three updates installed fine by manually running the install files in order. Hope that doesn't risk corrupting anything.
Is it necessary to update Windows 10 when there is new updates? I have been updated before and found out some of my files are missing. How is that?
Don't post such generic info, post the actual list of missing files and what you did to get them missing. It's always best to update.
Is there an equivalent for Win10 to the simplex update "we" use for Win7 ? ( I could not find it, but maybe I missed it, too many posts...) Thanks....
No, there isn't, windows 10 is 3-8 updates (2 for the most current official build at the moment), but you can use WHD for downloading the updates.
Thank you, what I meant was a sanitized version, like the simplex for 7. It is only on a tablet, but I do not like 10 there either. I found it hard to believe, but it updated itself afterbeing switched on before the wifi code was installed... I did not think that was possible, but I checked twice. So I installed the win10 update blocker first thing after resetting the tablet.... And Sam-R... thanks, but that was not my question
What's there to sanitize with just 2 updates, the CU and the Flash one, use the telemetry blocking scripts.
My Windows started to offer me "Feature update to windows, version 1709" from last week. Am I the only one? I should also say that I'm on 1709, and SAC.
Not getting .83 update on WU here. Seems like it is not rolling out to everybody. Not installing for some stupid change log. Next please!
Yes and only a minor update according to the doco. Not sure if it is worth the effort to install when there is only one week left until the regular "full" update for 1803.
