Re: Problem with Automatic Update since Tuesday
Thanks for the info La Luna.
Maybe the issue was there all along and just coincided with this latest patch Tuesday downloads.
Interesting that I have 50+ PCs configured similiarly (MS Update with download only) and only 4 have had issues. |

| There's a reason I have automatic updates turned off. I do install them promptly, but not until I have imaged the system first. And not just for the updates, I won't do any install until I have imaged first. Twenty minutes to do the backup is nothing compared to "Oh my god, what do I do now?"

| said by TheJoker  :There's a reason I have automatic updates turned off...... That has nothing to do with it, I had updates set to notify only, which worked fine....I always check and choose updates before installing. Some people have the problem when AU is checking for updates, others have it, like me, when they are trying to get the updates. On or off, it can still happen.
The problem suddenly started this week when I tried to get my updates with MS Updates after notification, hadn't installed any of them yet. It hung at "checking for updates". I have never had a problem with it before, ever.
This has been an ongoing problem for other people for months and months, starting a different times, it has nothing to do with any specific update.
It is obviously some issue with MS Updates itself as switching to and updating with Windows Updates works fine.
