Why is Microsoft providing wrong codebase updates for an Intel based cpu machine running Microsoft Windows Professional 10 and acting like a virus?

Microsoft Windows Professional 10 was using a 64 bit intel chip was downloading only AMD64 updates. I am still receiving these in reference to 1809 update and have to reboot into safe mode and remove the contents of the directory every time the delay ticker is met to stop a 16 hour update cycle with a 52% install and the a forced return to the previous version as the update is trying to apply AMD code to my windows installation on an Intel 64bit processor. Does anyone have a hack on this ticker to reset it at startup to zero so the delay stays in force?

    With such a cheery attitude that you have when conversing with others, it's no wonder you can't find a solution to your issue.

    Using a little honey will get much better results than a pound of salt.

    Its fairly obvious you are employed in the legal profession and some of us are doing this for nothing.

    Maybe you should run those "mysterious" files through an online scanner like VirusTotal which will run it through many engines (they use 70)?
