• I got a KB2505189 of Windows Update 'important '.

  I got a KB2505189 of Windows Update 'important '.  When I go to upload as usual, it is not verified, but listed as "recommended".  My computer has Vista Home Basic 2007 SP2.  This update is for the problems that I had not.  I have the download after which the computer is very slow, so I uninstalled it.  Do I need this update?

  I always download the updates 'Important '.

  It is not a security update. It is not necessary to install it if you do not experience the issues mentioned in the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2505189.

  As it is a change to how caching, you may have found that the performance would have eventually returned to its previous level.

• Cannot change 'Windows Update' - "Important updates"

  I had my Windows Update for updates but allows me to decide when to download and install the value.  This morning my computer downloaded, installed and rebooted without asking me.  I checked my settings and they are configured to automatically download, install and restart and I can not change the settings, they are grayed out.  I could go into regedit and change the settings here, but wonder why it happened and how I can access the setting of the control panel again.  I am logged in as administrator.  I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

• HELP - after installing Windows "updates important' all of a sudden my software no longer works!

  I am a user of Final Draft 7 (writer) - not a computer expert.  I allowed the updates to be downloaded and installed, and suddenly my screenwriting software gives me an error message that says 'Windows has shut down to final draft' and if there is a solution, I will be notified, but then nothing happens.  I know I look stupid, but I don't have the time to become an expert on Windows.  I need my software to work with Windows to do my job!  Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?  Help

• 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!

  Thank you, Todd.

• Update Windows shows about 100 updates important to apply. How would you recommend I do. I'm afraid to apply the patches to 100 at a time. Those who would be safer to start with? Thank you

  The manufacturer has replaced the HD on my computer laptop 64 bit Windows 7.  Update Windows shows about 100 updates important to apply.  I can't find patches that I had previously applied in the list of applied hotfixes or patches to apply list.  I don't understand why this is.  How would you recommend I do.  I'm afraid to apply the patches to 100 at a time.  Those who would be safer to start with?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I suggest you only begin to install the important updates (recommended) first and later if you want you can install optional updates. All Windows update are safe to install and it is important to install the update and recommended by Microsoft. It keeps your computer safer and your software current to date and if you want Windows to install important updates as they become available, turn on automatic updating. Important updates provide significant benefits, such as improved security and reliability. You can also set Windows to automatically install recommended updates, which can address non-critical problems and help enhance your computing experience. Optional updates are not downloaded or installed automatically.
