Everyday I get an MS auto update message for the same update: MS XML Core Services 4.0, Service Pack 2. I have updated several times now and get an “update complete” message, but the next day when I fire up the computer it is back again. Do you think I have a bug that is not allowing updates?
SOLUTION:
This should work for most if not all MS updates. Try the following:
- turn off Windows Update temporarily (may or may not be necessary)
- go to a Command (cmd) prompt (Start, Run, cmd, OK)
- type in, without quotes: "sc stop wuauserv" (or, "net stop wuauserv")
- in Windows Explorer delete all files from the following folder: c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
- to get there, just copy and paste that path, above, into your Start, Run line and click OK or hit Enter
- highlight all the files in there (press Ctrl-A) and either right-click and choose Delete or just press the Delete key on your keyboard. Don’t delete that folder itself, just all files and folders within it
- turn the Windows Update service back on
- go to a Command (cmd) prompt (Start, Run, cmd, OK)
- type in, without quotes: "sc start wuauserv" (or, "net start wuauserv")
- at the end of all that, MANUALLY go to http://www.update.microsoft.com/ and let it search for any necessary updates again.
