Downloaded games-why Windows updates keep delete them?
Updates Windows 7 have removed 2 of my favorite old Games downloaded during the last three months. What can I do to prevent it happening again?
[Moved from comments]
Windows updates change only the files located in your \Windows (usually on drive C :) folder When you download your games, save them elsewhere and they will not be affected.

original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?
I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers. Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.
I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool. These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there. Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft. I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...
My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?
Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.
If you don't like them, so do not use them.

Why Windows Update list deleted after restoring?
I am running Vista 32 bit sp1. I just tried to install the new version of Windows update, among other updates agent. He was doing some editing, but I canceled it. These updates have been identified as being cancelled in the update history. After that, I did a restore to a previous restore point. Then I noticed that the Windows Update list has been removed. I don't know what happened. How does restore delete Windows Update list? I just tried to restore the system to a half hour earlier. The updated list should always have all my updates of the past year.
Peter,
Once the updated history list has been cleared, then it starts fresh from there. However, you can see all the updates installed in the Add/Remove Programs list.

First I tried to copy some commands to the Notepad, saved and click with the right button on the shortcut and clicked on run as administrator and tried to download it again, and it still does not work.

Windows Update keeps updated tioir to update installed
I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 on my laptop and installed a number of updates successfully on 11 and 13 July 2013.
But Windows Update keeps me offering updates security KB2729450, KB2742569, KB27789643, KB2804577, KB2833940 and KB2844285 and KB952069. I get no error message and they show installed successfully in my update history.
I ran MS Fix Center several times without success. On checking through my control panel, I discovered that the first 6 had actually been installed - I uninstalled and reinstalled, but Windows Update always their offer. I see that KB952069 has been downloaded, but it is not in the security updates that I can see through the control panel; so I do not know if it is also installed (doesn't seem to be the case). I've now hidden these 7 updates in desperation. How to solve this problem?
Good to know and happy you have sorted it.
I know about this tool but didn't think he could solve the problems of update. -

If you do a repair Upgrade install borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation
read the below tutorial on how to perform a repair installation
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html
______________________________________________________________
and here are the different ways to reinstall vista;
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Windows Update keeps trying to install K2686828 and KB2656369.
Windows Update keeps trying to install K2686828 and KB2656369. Whenever I tells me the installation succeeds only to ask again to update. I tried the fix - it solutions, and they have not corrected the problem. Also, I did a virus scan and found nothing. All my other updates were installed without problem.
This problem is related to the MSI registration information inconsistancies. I was able to fix by using a cmd "msiexec /i {C09FB3CD-3D0C-3F2D-899A-6A1D67F2073F} ADDLOCAL = ALL/l * v % temp%\repairLog.txt. At the end of this process, the two installed normally KB and I have now no critical updates in the meantime. I noticed that article 917964 described a situation where IE would not work if the repairs were made the xp without removal of IE8 or IE 7 first. My IE 8 works fine. By 917964, "before you perform a repair of Windows XP installation, you must uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8 of the Windows XP computer.". If you perform a repair of Windows XP installation, when a later version of Internet Explorer is still installed, Internet Explorer does not once the repair is complete. »

Windows Update keeps wanting to install "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB2618444)", even if it appears in the list of updates to inistalled in the control panel. The installation fails. When I use "Fix it", it indicates that default Windows update data locations have changed, but I can't 'Fix It' to do the repair. In what could be a related issue, Windows Data Execution Prevention (part of IE 8?) detects a malfunctioning or malicious add-on, whenever I try to access a video on ESPN3 and closes the Web page. However, 'Fix It' can not detect any problems with the modules. I don't know what else to try to fix any of these problems.
