      On my first Win10 Pro 22H2 test machine I’m seeing the same behavior others have reported with KB5057589 2025-04 Security update for Win10 22H2. It fails the first time around, but on retry it’s happy.

      The other two updates:

      KB5055683 2025-04 CU for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8, 4.8.1
      KB5055518 2025-04 CU for Win10 22H2

      Succeeded the first time around. See PKCano’s post above for more complete details on the behavior of the various bits and pieces.

      The whole business seemed to take forever…. onto the next test machine(s)

      Thank you to the earlier posters giving results for their tests.

      Anyone try deleting the new c:\inetpub folder?

      And here we go – starting updates on a few Win10 Pro 22H2 test machines. I feel that the appropriate song to play now would be by Big Audio Dynamite – “The Bottom Line”, with the opening lyric – “The horses are on the track” 😉

      I have seen the new Outlook installed. It showed up as:

      This was using Nirsoft’s WUHV to view the applied updates listed in MS’s local database.

    • in reply to: Master patch listing for January 2025 #2739821

      Ditto on KB5050411 – On the first three machines, I saw the same behavior of failure on the round where I tried to install all 4 updates together, then after the successful install of the other 3, a retry on KB508411 worked without issues. However, I’m not seeing the 5050411 update offered simultaneously nor subsequently on the next two test machines later in the day.

      And the results for the remaining 5 Windows 10 Pro x64 test machines was KB5048652 installs without issues. Several basic tests on another production developer machine also show no issues so far. Therefore unleashed the KB5048652 update for the rest of the crew. No reports of issues so far.

      One person reported an additional Microsoft supplied driver update for nVidia video display card to <!–StartFragment –>32.0.15.5612 reportedly from June of 2024 – no issues reported.

      I accidentally forgot to pause updates on a near production Win 10 Pro x64 22H2 machine (a laptop). The machine updated with KB5048652 yesterday without issues. I have run my few critical production type tests and I have not seen any issues yet. Yay!

      Based on this experience and what others have reported here, I will be updating my other test machines today, then my production machine last. I will report on the more complete results tomorrow.

    • in reply to: MS-DEFCON 2: Closing out the year #2724508

      This behavior by Symantec is typical and been going on for years. They are effectively anti-competitive. Bought PC-Tools and orphaned it.  Bought Wise installer, buried it. LifeLock – talk to people who have had to use it – basically no help and they give you a refund. I’m not a fan of Symantec now days although I used to be.

    • in reply to: Here comes August 2024 updates #2696955

      Updated five Win 10 Pro 22H2 x64 “Guinea Pig”/”Canary” machines and as the final proof example, a production machine:
      Desktops: Dell – 4)Precision T3500(2011), 1)Precision T3600(2012), 6)Precision 5820(2017).
      Laptop/Tablets: 2)Dell XPS 13 9360(2017), 5)Dell XPS 15 9560(2017), 3) Microsoft Surface Pro(2014)

      With these 3 updates:
      KB5041580 2024-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5041580) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/5041580
      KB5042352 2024-08 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64 (KB5042352) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/5042352
      KB890830 Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 – v5.127 (KB890830) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890830

      And observed the usual premature restart notification triggered by the .NET Framework update

      Also saw these additional updates in Nirsoft’s Windows Update History Viewer (WUHV):

      9NH2SW16MQ7F-Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.5
      9N8MHTPHNGVV-Microsoft.Windows.DevHome
      9NBLGGH4RV3K-Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop

      No problems seen yet. As always, YMMV

      Programmers should not be allowed to create release notes.

      This may be a case of strategic/weaponized incompetence. LoL.

    • I accidentally updated my penultimate Windows 10 Pro 22H2 test machine with the July updates first (forgot to pause updates after June updates test). Normally it is the fifth machine to get tested. The good news is that these July updates;

      KB5040427 2024-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems
      KB5041019 2024-07 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64

      went smoothly and do not seem to have created any problems yet. I’ll update when I complete more testing.

      Also note that Visual Studio 2022 has security updates.

    • in reply to: March Madness begins #2653554

      Emergency fix released yesterday…

      Yes. Thanks. I knew that, but I was posting from a phone in a hurry, so I made it brief. The article on slashdot mentions that there is a hotfix.

      It’s a bad error, but fortunately it is limited to specific circumstances/configurations that I don’t have.
