In Windows update there's an update that refuses to work
"Updates are available, 2018-01 cumulative update (KB4056892)" Also: I'm alerted in the black section at the right of the screen that a Java update is ready, but this does.nt work either. (restarting the computer produces no results.) |

(restarting the computer produces no results.) Java has a control panel. You can check the update setting there. "Turn it off, save, turn it on again, save". It could be, that an incoming Java Update uses the Windows Installer service. What you should see, when software uses a .msi file, is msiexec running in Task Manager. And that might be related to Windows Installer service. Just a guess. ******* Windows Update first of all, is like a plumbing nightmare. If the pipes are plugged, then nothing works. The first step, is in the Windows Update panel, checking the "history" to see if failed updates are already listed. You can attempt to install the one that's jammed for example. You can look up the updates on catalog.update.microsoft.com. https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...2%20cumulative Windows has a Troubleshooter for Windows Update, in the control panels. If you cannot find the control panels any more, you can use a right-click of Start then Run, and enter "control" or "control.exe" to bring up Control Panels. In there should be a TroubleShooting panel. In the upper right hand corner, enter Update and the search should return a "Windows Update" entry. After that, you can reboot and see if it's fixed. But my experience is though, that a lot of the time, just installing the update manually by downloading from catalog.update.microsoft.com is sufficient. Paul |

So I'll wait for a BLUE MOON. When you post back you'll need to confirm whether you have paid your annual subscription to get support in these newsgroups.

DesktopOK has always restored desktop icons to exactly the same positions that I put them. I sometimes try out different programs and may delete any I do not wisk to keep. Any changes that I make to the desktop icons, then I immediately click the DesktopOK icon and when the program opens the user interface I then click the "Save" button. The program doesn't detect that I have made any changes. Clicking the "Save" button just updates the position of all icons in the INI file. And they always restore all icons to the last saved position. |
