  1. How to cancel a pending update


    I did a search on this subject and couldn't find anything relative to my problem. Today my W10 2004 laptop had and update and I was asked to install it. I looked at all of the 2004 KB numbers, nothing looked familiar.

    The message that it displayed when trying to install it is "Error Encountered". The description states "A current driver on your PC may be better than the driver we're trying to install. We'll keep trying to install."

    Then below is a "retry button".

    How do I get rid of this ?

    :)

    Hello Chez87459,

    thank you for posting to the forum.

    While we are currently investigating the root cause of this issue, I want to try to help you get past this message. To do so, I’d like you to try the following:



    *Note: If you changed your security proof(s) because you cannot access your account, or because you absolutely had to update or add information please do not perform the steps below.



    • Go to the “Change Anything?” message on your phone
    • Click on cancel this request at the bottom.
    • Follow the directions to cancel the pending security proof change.


    If you performed the steps above and cancelled the request, I would suggest waiting a week before attempting the security proofs update again. We are aware of the issue and anticipate a fix being released soon

    Kind Regards

    Vladimir
