Windows Update has had the BAD update for my computer!

Windows Xp Pro 32 bit, ie8. There was an update of the optional equipment, Trendnet ethernet adapter. I installed it. I lost my internet connection. I reinstalled my ethernet realtek card and my internet back. I realize, it's an optional update, but I try to update everything always. Now that I have disabled the adapter trendnet update is back on my list of update in windows update. I have scored for don't show this update and will have this irritating msg to restore hidden updates whenever I'll update. How this erroneous update occurred? Thanks for any help.

It happened because you gave. Never install of optional hardware updates from MS Update. Usually, they will burn out your computer. Download the updates directly from the computer manufacturer site.

  • For the last month or more, I had the same two updates for my computer

    original title: Windows updates

    For the last month or more, I had the same two updates on my computer.  Is anyone know why and what I can do to fix this?  I am running Windows XP.  Thank you very much.

    Hello

    the message "you have hidden the important updates" is normal, because you have hidden the high priority updates, but the updates are already installed, if that's OK.

    Try to look again at the web page:

    http://www.update.Microsoft.com/

    and click on "Custom".

    You should not see the updates (KB2518864 and KB2539631) in "review and install updates.

    You should see only "Important - you have hidden the important updates..." and "high-priority - updates non-priority updates to update for your computer... ».

    Then, try this (remove the content of the "'C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" ")

    1. Click Start, click run, type services.mscand click OK.
    2. In the Services (Local) pane, click automatic updates, and then click stop.
    3. Reduce the Services (local) window.
    4. Select all the contents of the Windows distribution folder, and then delete them.

      Note By default, the Windows distribution folder is located in the drive: \Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder. This place is a placeholder for the drive where Windows is installed.

    5. Ensure that Windows distribution folder is emptyand enlarge the Services (local) window.
    6. In the Services (Local) pane, click automatic updates, and then click Start.
    7. Restart the computer.

    I hope that we will achieve the goal, it will no longer still report the updates :-)

    Welcome to the HP community @rball007,

    I understand a computer running Windows 10, which had the printer installed using a Setup disk, now knows the pop ups. My best advice would be to uninstall the printer completely from a PC, the HP printer install wizard for Windows instead, to ensure that the most current drivers for Windows 10 are installed.

    Good luck
