Hi I'm doing a clean Windows 7 install and checking for updates it showed: 2017-12 cumulative update kb4054518 (the catalog says it's superseded) 2018-05 cumulative update kb4103718 2017-09 NET cumulative upddate KB4041083 (the catalog says it's superseded) 2018-05 NET cumulative upddate KB4099633 ... ... So I installed everything but the 2018-5 updates and after restart I checked again for updates and installed 2018-05 kb4103718 and KB4099633. Then I restart again and check for updates and it's asking me to install: 2016-9 kb3185319 (I think it s the last ie11 update before the cumulative updates) 2014-8 kb2676562 2016-1 kb3123479 So, what's going on? Is this normal?
We all know what the catalog is for, I just thought it would save people a few extra clicks that's all.
no, because that helps Windows Update to continue working properly for different PC hardware/software environments.
Today, the WU updates 2018-07 CUM and 2018-07 .NET disappeared from WU and all I'm seeing now are the 2018-06 CUM and .NET Previews + .NET 4.7.2 which did not disappear. Same thing on my x64 system. Anyone else seeing this or know how to get back the current offers?
That happens often when there is a metadata revision (sometimes worse, sudden problems) give it to 17:00 UTC then check again
The updates never reappeared, so I installed them manually with dism. Sometimes it's hard to tell if you have a problem or not.
They actually got restored with the release of Preview Rollup KB4338821 both are showing here without installing any updates
Looks like Microsoft may be up to there old tricks again. They are starting a new push to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10. Why am I posting in Windows 7 Hotfix ? Because in the past small pop-up files were imbedded in CU's and Hotfix's. Reminders on why Win 10 is so much better that Win 7 in the form of pop-ups etc. In this Thread in the past, there were lists of KB's not to install because of reminders imbedded. If you don't think they would do this, remember THIS IS Microsoft. I wrote this in part from comments made by Louisa Gauthier, product and marketing leader, Microsoft at the company’s Inspire event.
