  1. How do I go back to putting off the 2004 update?


    So basically I tried to install the 2004 update, but it told me to update my BIOS. I did that, but it still tells me to update the BIOS, and sometimes will blue screen when in the "downloading" phase. I am honestly fed up with this POS update and would like to go back to when I had a little box that told me "click here when you're ready to upgrade to Windows 2004". Is it possible to do that? Currently, I don't believe I will be able to install new security updated because the 2004 update displays as "failed" where the old "check for updates" button used to be. Here is an image describing what I am talking about. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    How do I go back to putting off the 2004 update?

    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 How do I go back to putting off the 2004 update? :) Best regards.


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