Win 7 Home Premium Update Surprise

#1

Post by sgbroimp » Wed Dec 06, 2023 1:00 am

I just got a windows 7 update. Thought there were no more! I had (fully) shut down the HTPC for 10 minutes or so and when I started it again I see this update pushing through. It is now showing configuring update 100% with spinning wheel for 15 minutes, but the message warns not not to shut down the PC. (I even thought I had shut off the updates, too.) Anyone know what's up with this bit of strangeness?

Sane issue. Did you find the solution?

I had the same problem. Luckily I had a C: image just a few weeks old and restored it on the PC. I then turned off Windows update!
