'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!

    PA Bear-Thanks anyway.

    Xircal:

    Any idea why an old Nov 2013 Root Certificate Update (that was already installed in Nov when first offered) would be offered again on Mar 17 when the Mar 2014 Root Certificate Update was installed on Mar 11? Possible glitch within Windows Update?

    In my Windows Update History, there was an Error Code 0x80246008 for KB 2310138 (Definition: 1.169.671.0)-Is this related to MSE, XP, IE, or is it another type of Update? I was having issues with MSE so I uninstalled it and installed AVG Free again.

    I noticed that 'Defraggler' is listed under 'Program Files' but I have never used it.

    Was it pre-installed with Windows XP, was it installed automatically when I installed another program, or would I have manually installed it at some point?

    I use the built-in Defragmenter so I have no need for both Defragmenter and Defraggler-Is one better than the other and can Defraggler be uninstalled without causing any issues?

    Since you won't answer my questions, I have no idea why the Nov-13 Root Certificates update was offered to your computer (again).

    As for KB2310138, what does http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2310138 say it is? [KB2310138 was released on 12 October 2011!]

    The two (2) threads you cited are QUESTION threads. In fact, all but one of your threads have been QUESTION threads.

    Every Defrag utility has its own opinion of what a properly defragged drive should look like. Pick one & stick with it.  [Hint: The built-in Defrag tool was built by the folks who build WinXP.]

    I have nothing further to add to this or any other WinXP thread of yours. Good luck - especially after 08 April 2014!

    Xircal:

    You stated that the last Root Certificate Update was in Nov 2013. I checked the Windows Update History and there was a 'Mar 2014 Root Certificate Update For Windows XP' (KB 931125) that 'was' installed on Mar 11 so I do not know why the Nov 2013 Root Certificate update was offered 'again' on Mar 17-It has not been offered again since Mar 17 though.

    Shopper,

    You're correct is stating that an update was released this month, but as I mentioned already, I'm using Windows 8.1 now so I don't keep track of what happens in the XP field anymore.

    PA Bear:

    Xircal stated that the Nov 2013 Root Certificate update was the last one offered so I checked the Windows Update History last night after you responded to my thread and there was a Mar 2014 Root Certificate Update that was installed on Mar 11 so he was misinformed. I just wondered why an old Nov 2013 Root Certificate Update would be offered again 6 days later on Mar 17.

    Also, I uninstalled MSE and installed AVG Free last night 'after' you responded to this thread. To be clear, is the Error Code 0x80246008 for KB 2310138 (Definition: 1.169.671.0) related to MSE, XP, IE, or another type of Update?

    Are you saying that the BITS thread, this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/3f310847-1919-414a-87bd-76b8b4f6e71b ,and this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/8733b2fd-89a3-4503-8ac8-9a6ca1a298a1 are all 'Discussion' threads not 'Question' threads so there would not be a 'Marked as Answered' option?

    I realize Defraggler vs Defrag was off-topic but I thought that I would squeeze that question in since it is XP-related. Was Defragglerpre-installed with Windows XP, was it installed automatically when I installed another program, or would I have manually installed it at some point?

    I use the built-in Defragmenter so I have no need for both Defragmenter and Defraggler-Is one better than the other and can Defraggler be uninstalled without causing any issues?
