Windows Update is Important?

I got a lot of windows update, but it did not affect my OS...

Windows updates are not normally the user facing functionality. They keep the Windows files that manages the resources of your computer, updated and secure.

    Your operating system is corrupted. To eliminate the problems on your computer, you need to restore factory settings and rebuild your computer system.

    A recovery of the system partition contains a copy of the operating system as it was when the computer was purchased new. Using the copy of Vista, you can restore the computer to factory settings. Of course you must back up your data files to an external before restoring support as the process reformats the disk thus clearing all existing files before writing new files.

    Please read Chapter 13 (page 33) Manual:
    5738 http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/document/generic%20UG/generic%20UG_Acer_1.0_A_A.zip?acerid=633967123940952836&STEP1=notebook&Step2=aspire&step3=aspire & OS = ALL & LC = en & BC = ACER & SC = EMEA_27

    The manual suggests that you have an option to restore the operating system and retain user data that I've not seen in a manual before. It is worth trying because it reduces the work involved but I would again as a precaution, back up your data files on external safety precaution if things go wrong.

  • Vista SP2 32-bit, Windows Update continues to install KB979683 and then re-list as a new "important update available"

    Automatic updates of Windows installs KB979683, and then in the next update checking, it is listed under "important update available". He repeated every day for three weeks.

    Under 'View Update History', he shows again and again KB979683 installation successfully.

    Under 'updates installed, he said, "no update is installed on this computer". So I can't download it manually on my desktop, uninstall the update, restart in safe mode and reinstall manually. Also, when I tried to install manually in safe mode without deleting the file, I received the error 0X8007043c.

    I tried stopping the windows update service, and then delete all files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution > DataSstore and C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution > download, then by restarting the service, but it did not help.

    I've updated and run Malwarbytes Anti-Malware 1.46 and AVG 9.0.829, but found no threat.

    I use windows, as well as automatic daily scans with AVG firewall (manual scans with Malwarebytes: daily).

    I don't know if it's important, but I'm under IE8, version 8.0.6001.18882, 256 bit zero versions updates. I have seen a recent update was available for IE8 (KB982381) but when you try to run manually, he said that the update does not apply to my system.

    Help, please!
