'October 2013 Update For Root Certificate for Windows XP ' KB 931125 Installed

Hello.

I am running Windows XP Prof with IE8.

Every morning, I manually check Windows Update for 'Express' and 'Custom' updates.

This morning (Mon Mat 17/14), when I checked 'Custom' updates, there was an ''Nov 2013 Update For Root Certificate for Windows XP ' KB 931125 update.

I downloaded and installed it but this seemed odd since this update was released 4 months ago.

Why was it offered again for the first time today? No other 'earlier' root certificate updates have been offered.

Thanks!

    Yes, the BITS-related issue was resolved and I am aware that every Root Certificate Update has the same KB number.

    When I ran a custom scan earlier this month (Mar), it offered the 'Nov 2013 Update For Windows XP Update' so I knew that it was the 'same' update for Nov 13 and not a 'new' update for Mar 14.

    I can only think that the Nov 2013 update did not install properly (which is why it was offered again) but it does not explain why it was offered 4 months later  (as opposed to being offered during the next set of updates in Dec).

    Maybe we'd both know if you were able to fix the BITS-related issue?

    Note the every Root Certificates update is KB931125 (e.g., the Nov-13 update and the Mar-14 update). There's really no way of knowing which release of KB931125 is installed (unless it's offered when you run a CUSTOM scan for updates).

    Does anyone know why this old 'Nov 2013 Update For Windows XP Update' (KB931125) from 4 months ago would be offered again in Mar?

    No other 'old' Root Certificate updates have been offered through the 'Custom' scan option since this one was offered.

    Automatic Updates is deliberately disabled as a result of the BITS-related issue so I manually scan for all 'Express' and 'Custom' updates regularly.

    They're merely diagnostic questions but suit yourself.

    Does Xircal even know about your new thread? He seems to be hanging out in Win8.1-land now...

    PS: The most recent Root Certificates update was released on 11 March 2014. FWIW I fired up my ol' WinXP box and that's the one Windows Update offered me.

    Thanks PA Bear but I am going to wait for Xircal to help me out with this issue.

    Take Care.
