Windows Update offers KB974479 again and again

I use Windows 7 x 64 and since this morning Windows Update is to alert me that there new found updates. When I check updates told me it's the KB974479 update. I already tried to install the update and it ends without error, but after a few minutes, the update appears once again according to their availability. Restart the machine did not help, shortly after the reboot, the update was there again. My update history tells me that I managed to install this 12 times now!

The update was for an incompatibility between VS 2008 SP1 and Windows SDK 6.1, but I have same SDK 6.1 installed, only V6.0A SDK (which came with VS) and V7.0.

How can I get rid of this update?

  • Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update. Try again later

    Original title: Windows 7 list printers cannot be updated
    I installed a windows 32 bit 7 OS several weeks ago on my workstation Futitsu-Siemens and followed the instructions on the HP Wizard to try to install the HP Deskjet 990c printer driver for my HP 6122 printer. According to the HP Wizard, the only way to do is to update the list of printers by clicking on the "Windows Update" button in the dialog "add a printer".  I clicked on this button several dozen times in recent weeks, and every time I get the message "Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update. Try again later.

    I installed a windows 32 bit 7 BONES of several months on my HP laptop and the printer list updated without a hitch to include many more HP printers that are on my computer Futitsu-Siemens including HP 990c.

    What should I do?

    Here's what I found my system which is an Z210 64 HP running windows7. I just updated my Bios to v1.35

    What I did to get the update to work once and what I have to do each time to add another printer by using the Update window.

    1. open (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Task Manager

    2. click on tab of abuse, then Services button (bottom-right)

    3. under the name to find "Windows Update".

    4. right click "Windows Update" and select stop. do not close

    5. open the Exploper window and browse to C:\Windows

    6 delete the folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution".

    7. go back to served, right click on "Windows Update", and then select start

    Now the "Windows Update" button should work. For me I have to do every time I have to install a printer that requires me to use windows update

    Looking for what casues the error

    at the bottom of a file named WindowUpdate.log located in C:\Windows after that I get the message "Windows was unabel to...» "I have this text below.

  • Get "Windows could not obtain the list of devices from Windows Update, please try again later"

    Trying to load the printer driver for HP DeskJet 990c on Win7 64-bit (Intel i7 - 2640M). All online sources, including HP say pilot is available by clicking on "Windows Update" in the install printer driver dialog box. In doing so, always get message "Windows could not obtain the list of devices from Windows Update, please try again later".

    Windows Update is set to "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them".
    Downloaded and extract full X 86 driver catalog (X 86 - all - 4189_1228a7cf7b1aac21346b20cb6e21db409dde9e72.cab) from the Windows Update site http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspxcatalog. 'Disc', stated in the dialog of the printer driver install and selected prnhp001. INF, received immediatelt message this specified folder does not compatible device driver.
    Also tried to do the same thing with the IA64 catalog (IA64-all - 4190_6e0f85bb67d0038a6406fc71b777a1906a87888c.cab), not surprisingly has the same result.
    Also tried to do the same thing with the AMD64 catalogue (AMD64-all - 4188_bacd1413e93b4a6362d9a2ca653c869f1c02f6f7.cab) and curiously that appear additional list catalog successfully. However, when choosing hp deskjet 990 c, as soon as the driver begins to install the error box appears saying "printer driver not installed, the operation may not be completed (error code 0x00000002).
    Cannot find any other relevant catalogues on the site Windows Update Catalog (which is X 64).
    Have tried to launch MicrosoftFixit.wu.RNP.85259331246416206.3.1.Run.exe, which is worth 1 point fixed, but has no effect on the problem.
    A short of ideas. How can I get my hands on 990c driver for Win7 - 64 Intel?
    Thank you.

  • Brand new computer and Windows Update offers updates of pilot

    I received a custom build e9280t yesterday and did the thing of the installation and migration.  Windows Update offers already updates for the ATI Radeon HD 4850 video card and JMicron JMB36X controller.  I guess I have several questions.

    1 can I install drivers provided by Windows Update

    2 How often should I update drivers?

    3. in the case of the video card should I update from Windows Update or ATI?

    4. If I install ATI should I install the ' ATI Catalyst™ 9.11 Suite for Windows 7 (64 bit) "or simply thedriver only option of the ATI Catalyst™ 9.11 components for Windows 7 (64 bit)?

    I have a card ATI video in a long time and the outcome of pilot and the options have always confused me with what must be downloaded and installed.

    Thanks for any help.

    John, here are the answers to your questions:

    (1) Yes, I would.  I wonder however, no offer to update your BIOS before checking further.  Updated HP has been known to be incorrect.  A failed BIOS flash makes it an expensive boat anchor.

    (2) update as soon as there is a new driver.  Manufacturers use updates to fix problems.

    (3) it's up to you.  I don't think that HP makes changes of owners of the video cards in their computers.  So, if it were me, I would use those ATI/AMD.

    (4) go with the 'Software Suite '.  This includes some cool utilities to adjust your map.  One of the features that I like is "Overdrive".  It allows you to overclock the card and adjust the speed of the fan on the fly.  I'm still using XP Pro SP3, but the last consequence works very well with my 4870 XXX 1 GB.

    I hope this info is useful.

  • Windows Update offers me a few old updates, is there a way to track and organize the installation of update history?

    Original title: update windows

    I am regularly offered 'old' updates for installation, for example, KB2487367 published 05/08/2011. Is it possible to copy my Windows Update history file to an Excel file? I could then sort by number of update and avoid download/installation of the old updates. Or better yet, is there a historic Windows Update file that is already sorted by number of update?

    Yes, it was installed successfully (according to the history of the update). No indication that it was available on resetting for several days. I went through my entire history of update to see if/when it has been previously installed. It is not a major concern for download and install. Am I better turn off just the download of 'important' updates offered by Microsoft? He done wrong to "re-download"?

    If you install, you may need it.  You only * need * to install critical / security updates really.
     
    If the update installs correctly and not is not offered on several occasions "burst" - there is no harm in just letting Windows Update just "doing his thing"...
