    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Are all these really necessary on my system? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

  3. Disk space usage, is this really necessary?

    Ok, well Driverstore explorer gave me the option of removing 1 older version of Nvidia drivers.
    But this removed only about 500Mb so I think I will need to use DDU and clean install latest Nvidia driver which is a pita if I need to do it every time a new driver or Experience update is released.
    This is my situation after Driverstore ran.

    As you can see there is still well over a gigabyte left in various folders. Unfortunately some of the Nvidia folders are a rats nest to dig into and work out what is essential and what is bloat, as in updates that have been applied but for some reason are kept in reserve.
    But thanks for the suggestion of Driverstore.

    Whether It Is Necessary to Clean System Registry

    It is said in some source that the system can slow down after many programs have been installed and used over time. Is it necessary to clean the system registry, as creators of registry cleaning programs suggest?
