Latest Windows Update for Windows 7 - KB2923545, error Code 800703e6

Hi Gerry.  No NEVER received any remote assistance.  Chris

Remote Desktop Configuration service (RDCS) is responsible for all Remote Desktop Services and Remote Desktop related configuration and session maintenance activities that require SYSTEM context. These include per-session temporary folders, RD themes, and RD certificates.

I have just looked at the System Information file you uploaded earlier. The Startup type for the Remote Desktop Configuration service is set to Manual, which is the default setting. However, the status says Stopped, which contrasts with a blank on my own computer. To me that signifies that you are using something that requires the service.

Have you received remote technical assistance at some time in the past where you allowed access over the internet to fix a problem with your computer?

Thanks.  Like respondent "wkdpower" I did not go looking for this update, and do not use or have ever  used Remote Desktop.  It was offered by Windows Update.

I agree I cannot see why this issue should have any bearing on System File Checker.

I would like to hear from "wkdpower" what experience he/she had on this Windows Update

Please note I missed the  word not out of my first response to you. I have now edited the original message to show what I intended to say but failed to make clear. Your intervention brings out a point that needs to be remembered when considering problems with Windows Update.

It was offered as an "important" update on Windows Update.

That does mean the same applies for all systems! If you have opted to use Remote Desktop then it is reasonable to be offered updates relating to Remote Desktop.

Never used remote desktop, don't even have the services enabled. But I'll butt out from interfering in the OP's thread, just wanted to point out it was offered via Windows Update.
