MS Update Catalog has wrong file

Hi, the MS Update Catalog lists 3 downloadable files for KB4103730.

Microsoft Update Catalog

2 links are for Windows 8 and 1 is for Server 2012.

When you click on the link for Server 2012, it downloads one of the Windows 8 files, NOT Server 2012.

You can also see that 2 of the files are exactly the same size, so it's obvious that they have the wrong file linked to the 2012 download button.

Contacting MS by phone they tell me the only way to fix this is to pay $500 for a support Engineer to call me back.

A ridiculous answer to a simple website fix.

Does ANYONE know how I can get the correct file?

 

Wrong sizes of updates

Hello. When I look for available updates using powershell script, it returns wrong sizes for certain updates. See the first item from a list on the screenshot. Window update agent (wua) returns size ~61Gb for update KB4483235 (d53bec60-84cf-4d58-8046-02f17c45e5b4)





The same issue I've had on other computers for updates: KB4093112 (wua returns size~182.8GB) and KB4471329 (wua
returns size ~128.2 GB).

Any idea?

 

File Explorer shows wrong folder size


I think the issue is solved. The problem of File Explorer Properties showing greatly reduced folder size was present in my Documents folder and my two most used folders under Documents. Looking at the TLPD results I noticed that along with the 17,000 results from the folders "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and "C:\Users\[me]\AppData", there were about 4 results from each of these two most used folders. I went to those files in the first folder and shortened the names to well below 255 characters. Then File Explorer Properties showed the correct folder size (that is to say the same size as Tree Size Free shows), but Documents folder size was still wrong. Then I went to the second of these two folders and carefully did the same fix. Now File Explorer Properties folder size is correct for this folder and is correct for Documents.

Documents and both of these folders are present in my Quick access. Before this fix, I noticed that if I checked folder size in File Explorer, I got the wrong size whether I used the left pane under Quick access, or the right pane; but if I hovered over the folder in question in the right pane, the pop-up showed the correct size. I don't know if either of these are pertinent to the original problem.

Strangely, the wrong folder size problem never appeared in the two folders for which TLPD returned 99% of it's results: "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and "C:\Users\[me]\AppData". File Explorer Properties and Tree Size Free always agreed.

So I guess that if you want your File Explorer Properties to work correctly, you must run TLPD occasionally and rename any long file names under Documents; or carefully avoid long names.

Any suggestions on how to avoid this problem or an easier fix would be appreciated.

Thanks for everybody's help.
