Windows 10: C:\Windows\Panther Keeps Installing Itself

My understanding is that this folder/directory/program is installed when: "...that folder is created by Windows Update, when you upgrade Windows 10 or get a major update."

I have windows update virtually crippled. I am still on 1709 win 10 pro and I have not installed any KB updates in quite some time. I have run Disk Cleanup for files and then for system files and each time it nukes Panther but the next day it comes back. I am not entirely sure what "Panther" does but if it has anything to do with facilitating Windows update I want it banished for good. What do you all make of C:\Windows\Panther? Thanks.

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

 

Panther directory in Windows 10

I have a fairly new computer, built last year, with Windows 10. I noticed my anti virus during a scan listing "C:\windows.old\WINDOWS\Panther\windlp.state.xml - unable to open" , among other Panther files that end with "unable to open". Can these be safely
deleted?
