  1. I don't have the app VirtualBox but the windows update keeps asking me to delete it


    I've been holding this windows 10 update for a while. When I try to update it, it asks me to delete VirtualBox which I deleted already from the past update. When I try to find VirtualBox there's no, but the windows update still asks me to delete it, even after I refresh. I already deleted VirtualBox before and windows update keeps asking me to delete it, I didn't re-install virtualbox either. what do I do??????

    :)

    Windows 10 update needs me to manually uninstall VirtualBox

    Hello everyone. I am new to this forum. I hope someone can help me with this issue.

    In the past few weeks I got notices from Windows 10 Update that asked me to manually uninstall VirtualBox because that app was not compatible with Windows 10. I suppose it is preventing updates from being installed.

    I tried to uninstall VirtualBox. I opened the control panel--> Programs and Features. But there was no VirtualBox in the list. I opened the Task Manager. There was no VirtualBox there either. Why does Windows 10 Update keep sending me that message when there is no VirtualBox in my PC? What should I do?

    I would like to thank in advance whoever that can help me with this issue.
    I don't know if I would get a notice to my email box when someone offers the help.

    I don't have the app VirtualBox but the windows update keeps asking me to delete it

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink I don't have the app VirtualBox but the windows update keeps asking me to delete it ;)
    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.
