@PKCano :

I have  WIN  7 64 bit.  I have been offered the following  windows updates.

KB4459922

KB4462923

KB890830

 

I installed SSU KB3177467 on 21st September, 2018 , prior  to installing  KB4457144 and there were no issues   with installations of the  said Updates.

With the current turmoil on Windows updates I am waiting  for Devcon 3 so that   I  can update the above.

My question, is it necessary to again install KB3177467  as a prerequisite  to install the  October  updates ? Some people are reporting that they have received V2 of   KB3177467  [ which I haven’t ]

On a side note, I was thinking of  reformatting my Hard Drive somewhere in the new future. However, with   so many problems with Windows updates  currently, I am unable to decide for myself. What advice would you give me ? My only fear is that I don’t want to be stuck, neither here nor there.

As mentioned  earlier, KB 3177467 did   show up in my list of hidden updates. However, when I did  try to  unhide and  restore it, it suddenly vanished. So I  downloaded  the update, using the link above  and  installed KB 3177467 [ 64 bit ]. Thereafter I  restarted. After that, there  was no problem  in downloading  and installing KB 4457144. As a cross reference I checked that  both the  above  updates  are showing in the list of  installed updates.

I   remember the  good ol’ days [ till  2015 ] where  Windows Updates were downloaded and installed  without  any issues.  These  issues  have started  following Microsoft’s insistence to Window 7 Users to  upgrade  to Windows 10  even offering us a free upgrade for a limited time. Seriously I am trying to figure out  if there is any link between Microsoft’s vehement  insistence on an upgrade   and   the   regular issues faced  by Window 7 users every Patch  Tuesdays. Frankly speaking, why would I  upgrade to Windows 10, considering that there are already too many issues their users are facing. Windows 7 has always been user friendly even  till  now except when Patch Tuesdays arrive as a nightmare.

Thank you PKCano for your prompt reply. Yes I have checked up from Windows Updates and seen that this Update  was actually hidden by  me earlier   and is listed amongst   hidden Updates.  So shall I go ahead  and  restore  it and install it from here only ?  I am running Windows 7 64 bit SP 1 with Intel Processor. Thank you once again.

I am new  to this forum. Infact I joined just two minutes ago. Luckily I  have not installed KB 4457144 on my Windows 7 because I had a hunch that something is not right.

Somewhere, in the top  of the article, regarding KB3177467 it says “Close any open programs then double click on the downloaded file, agree to install, and reboot the computer when asked. After rebooting, you should be able to install the September Rollup”. 

Lower down, some member has posted this“Then install the update but DO NOT restart. Unhide KB4457144, install it, THEN reboot” 

Could someone tell me whether I should reboot my Computer after installing KB 3177467 or should I, without rebooting install KB 4457144 and then reboot once?

I would like to thank everyone here for their valued contributions to this forum.
