Windows Update Keeps Updating....

Whenever I go to Windows Update the following update is listed for download:

Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP (KB826939)

I have downloaded this update at least 5 times and it keeps showing up...

I have gone in to Add/Remove programs and removed it, reinstalled it, etc. etc.

Not a huge deal, just annoying!

Any ideas?
I couldn't find anything in the M$ Knowledge base either
the key does exist in my registry..
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP2\KB826939)

 

I'm seeing a lot of similar problems like yours. It appears that Microsoft is looking into it. That is all I know at this time.

 

for now , you can customize what is shown in the windows update by hitting the customize link. and deselect it from the choices.

 

Heheh, I doubt MS is looking into it unless it happens for everyone.


This has been a sporadic problem for 2 years now with XP at least.


Kodo's suggestion is the best.

The other possibility is to nuke your wutemp folder, and catroot2.


wutemp is hidden on the root of the drive IIRC, catroot2 is in system32.

Might want to check windows update.log for errors too.
