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?

    No, not legal, that's for sure.

    Yes, it is fun watching you work so hard for a non-issue as people have tried to explain to you. But alas you refuse to listen to those that know the difference between X86 and AMD64 and what it really means. Definitely not what you mistakenly believe.

    Oh well. Enjoy your hunt.

    LostInLiesAndDrama . Please find me an article and tech note that states equivocally that AMD64 binary code will run on an Intel x64 based PC?

    Personally I believe in January this year a decision was taken to not support Intel and only support AMD? This is why so many people are experiencing real hardship and loss of working hours from this tortuous  code **WSUS:**wuauserv.

    I really do not understand why Jillses in Reading would inform me that it is correct and reasonable to send this same identical insertion of files to every computer connected to the Internet knowing that at least some of the recipients would experience failures from trying to install it as it was not cherry picked for their computer but dumped / inserted on mass there.

    Could you tell me how munch storage this is wasting on the total number of computers connected to the net considering every users connected to the web is loosing 0.5 Gigabyte? 328 million devices being connected to the internet each month. src: https://propertyupdate.com.au/many-devices-connected-internet-infographic/ Then according to this data in one month 164 Million Gigabtye of storage is being exploited for this misadventure? 

    If this is optional to install these files and cause these problems of a 16 hour install and a 16 hour uninstall what is the pony of this idiocy? Then why is Microsoft popping up windows which you cant exit enforcing you to update and take this  path which will render your hardware non usable for the near future?

    You seem to be following this so as you think people from this organization are correct and have more experience than myself. If this is all correct as you believe all this from Microsoft Employees, then why can this service not be terminated with a Microsoft technote procedure : SC DELETE “ServiceName” binPath= “C:\Program Files (x86)\XXX\ServiceName.exe -c Service.config” or by simply executing SC Delete wuauserv. This is after all a standard Microsoft Instruction run in an Admin shell.  You will note It  was confirmed with Cril Y that this was correct to delete and remove any service.  It follows then that this service is different than any other service  Do you not ask yourself why?

    As many already explain amd64 is generic industrial name (originally developed by AMD) for instruction set used on Intel and AMD on their 64 bit processors.

    Read more from here:

    https://www.quora.com/What-is-X86-X64-X86-64-AMD64-and-Intel64-Whats-the-difference-between-them

    "If I let the system install it runs to 52% and then fails and undoes the entire update. returning the computer to the same as it was before the update."

    Obviously you have some issues on your PC (which is not related to any "wrong code base").

    See this thread for instructions by DaveM121 how to update manually or, in worst case, how to do clean install.

    It seems that amd64 is not the OP's real problem, unfortunately, so it's probably better to just leave them be until they get tired of posting.

    case number: 1472209067

    Well thank you but

    After contacting Microsoft by telephone and awaiting since January 2019 to get an update and being told by Microsoft UK Readying was that it was my hardware and the lack of an updated bios  despite this working from before January.  I thought I would try running and update again a enough time had past for Microsoft to rewrite the whole update system Sadly while trying to update it still gets to 60 % then reboots with a message  "Could not install all of the components"  only to uninstall yet again .

    Why are we wasting time with this Windows Update has Microsoft forgotten how to write proper code? It seems to me it has and is no longer employing anyone who can write proper code.

    Now please bear in mind I just downloaded the latest drivers for my graphics card  from Nvidia yesterday so why is Microsoft saying it needs updating when the Nvidia system states its up-to-date then oddly stating it failed:

    Am I to believe Microsoft knows something the card manufacturer doesn't. There has been no reply from Gigabyte who I contacted in relation to Microsoft Readings comments blaming their hardware system bios  for this failure to update. I do not need to do a clean install as my system ids quite clean as described by Norton Tech who conducted forensic testing. I have to wonder why to are repeating this rubbish that even Microsoft Reading disagrees with. I was told that Microsoft server dumps this 10 (ten) gigabyte of the same crappy drivers to everyone pc connected to the internet. |Further more when I asked if Microsoft was aware of the misery it was causing as some of these machines was incapable of running his update I was told yes they was aware of this and concluded this was a intentional act .

    It is criminal?

    WELL I HAVE ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES TO DESTIST AND STOP SENDING THESE FILES TO MY COMPUTER. YOU JHHAVE TRIED NUMEROUS OPERATIONS TO STOP UPDATES ALL WHICH ARE REINSTRODUCED WHEN MICROSOFT OFFICE HAS TO REPAIR ITSELF. YES, PLEASE DESIST SENDING ME THESE UPDATES AND PROVIDE A ROUTER PORT AND ADDRESS THAT I CAN BLOCK IN MY ROUTER

    Furthermore how can it be  that the update states Its up-to-date knowing the history states everything failed

    "S urely this 10 Gigabyte on 328 million computers accessing the internet in a month[1] is a complete waste of this storage. This equates to 3,280 million Gigabytes of shared storage misused per month its quite staggering"

    "Despite informing Microsoft to decist sending me these updates today it has re-enabled its virus again! Why?"

    "Now forgive me but does this not state disabled next to it ?"

    Now if this is not bad enough and indicative of a bug that Microsoft is not fixing in its virus WSUS: msaeserv. It states quite clearly on this page under description

    "Now it seem to state to me that if it is disabled, users of this computer will not be able to use Windows Update or its automatic updating feature, and programs will not be able to use the Windows Update Agent (WUA) API. Now is this not clear enough that it can be turned off permanently. Why Is Microsoft turning it back on without my permission. I have revoked all permission from Microsoft making automatic changes"
