How long did you pause the update for?

Thanks for that final bit of information. I used the tool Paloma recommended, it's signed by Microsoft, and kept seeing the problematic update. If I hadn't seen your final solution I'd still be pulling out the non-existent hair on my bald head. lol

Tried using the tool to hide the updates but it only hid one of the two updates. There was no way of removing the remaining update. I tried so many different methods ranging from editing the registry, stopping the update services and renaming files but whatever I tried didn't work. In the end I tried system restore which caused other problems, followed by a repair install which caused another set of problems. In the end, I had to do a wipe and clean reinstall. Nightmare.

Thanks. It just isn’t that big an issue for me. I have been there done that with previous Windows versions. 98, XP, 2000 and others. Everything works as intended just have that lingering install error so it can sit there until MS decides to address it.
