Re: Updates always available

Remove WU downloads from the temporary folder:-

Stop the Automatic Updates service

Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Delete the contents of the Download folder
Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
Click OK.
Open the Download folder.
Delete all contents of the Download folder.
Close the window.

Start the Automatic Updates service
Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.

By deleting the contents of the Download folder - you have removed any downloaded updates.

Use this to check that all updates are installed correctly and none are missing:-

| Hello,
|
| On my task bar, the icon that informs me that there is a new update
| available always stays in an alert state. I'm set to download automatically
| and install manually. Even right after I install the most recent updatesand
| reboot, the icon remains in the "Updates are available for your computer"
| state. It always has an exclamation mark even when there are no new updates
| available. Any thoughts?
|
| Thank You!
