Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - November 2019 (KB890830) -Error 0x800711c7

Yes Lee, Windows 10 S is most effective for people like myself who need little in the way of add-on hardware or even software, at least beyond what's already available in the Store.

What I find helping here is that few truly understand what's different, even among those helping, since they assume that not having things like PowerShell, the Registry Editor and other management tools available is a negative, when in truth it's tools like these that are often abused by malware in order to corrupt and take over a Windows device.

That's why with a security background and nearly 40 years in the computing industry I try to help others understand the reality behind how these things actually operate and what makes them secure, or not.

Nothing has been so difficult to explain as Microsoft's attempts to move to a much leaner and secure platform, which they've tried multiple times with the Surface including the earlier ARM versions that eventually failed.  Hopefully the tack they've taken more recently to make Windows 10 S mode a default option for nearly all versions of the OS will allow enough intelligent people to give it a try that it will begin to gain some traction.

I know I personally don't ever plan to buy anything that can't support Windows 10 S and feel that even Windows Defender itself is nearly unnecessary on such an inherently secure operating system.  That's precisely why I chose the Go and though it's still appropriate to have the Defender AV available on the off chance any malware manages to successfully attack, I feel it's highly unlikely a reasonably careful individual will ever experience any true malware.

It's perfect for protecting less careful users like kids as well, which is what I had to try and do with early Microsoft security tools and Windows configuration for my nephews over a decade ago.

You're a lot more fortunate to have Windows 10 S available or even just Windows 10 for that matter.

I’ve worked in IT a lot of years, and I like S mode ... a lot. I, too, just purchased a Surface Go, upgraded it to Windows Pro, and kept it in S mode just to see how it runs. So far, I like it. If I could, I’d put my other machines into S mode tomorrow. I’d also put as many as possible of our corp users onto S mode as well. My reasoning?  I’m tired of ever increasing sophisticated and destructive malware and hacks. I’ve quickly become an S mode fan, period. I for one will be watching Microsoft’s progress with S mode and do hope it rapidly gains acceptance in the marketplace. 

So, simply from your 2’s input if Microsoft could ensure their own inbuilt update process to maintain 10S, then people would not need to override it to update a new PC setup.

I keep getting the same error and my laptop dont wanna update can i get some help with this please

A newer version of this update came out yesterday and it installed without problems
