Windows 10: request for cleanup update history .reg tutorial

Hello guys and Master Brink

Is it polite to ask somebody to make a .reg file like the ones used in the tutorials and mostly written by Brink.
It is about cleaning up the windows update history - I do this manually every patch Tuesday with the following commands from command prompt but now getting tired:

net stop wuauserv
del %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log
net start wuauserv

The source is from Microsoft:
Windows updates failed, Want to delete all failed update files in - Microsoft Community

Brink, if you think it is good to have it as tutorial, please publish it, many will be happy to use it.
Thanks




:)

 

Windows 10 update error - Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) 64-Bit Edition - Error 0x8024002d

I am having the same issue, maybe but possibly not for same reason.

With windows 8 (later 8.1), and with office 2010 on the system, I had windows update misconfigured to only update upon request. I since installed office 2013 (office 365) on the system, and uninstalled
office 2010. I suspect at some point the office 2010 update (Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) 32-Bit Edition) was downloaded to the system, but was not installed, before I unintalled office 2010.

To make things more interesting I installed windows 10 a week or so ago, but this was happening with windows 8.1 as well, and I don't think affects the core issue

Now I keep getting the annoying daily error in windows update history

Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) 32-Bit Edition

Failed to install on <date>

Reading eightforums.com tutorial, I ran Disk Cleanup, but it did not show Windows Update Cleanup (I think that was what was stated in tutorial) option for cleanup.

Any ideas how to remove the downloaded update? I suppose I could reinstall office 2010, but that seems drastic.

 

WINDOWS UPDATE ERROR

Try clearing/deleting Update History using the script [BAT file] in this tutorial and
reboot once more =>

1. Is Update History blank/empty now?

2. Does the behavior persist now?
