Windows 10: September 8th 2015 Security Update Release Summary for Windows

I received downloads for things that i hate like MSN news and People lol, (yes, i prefer my dog over most people) , but thats the way it is with auto updates i suppose.

 

BrownianMotion - what theme are you using - I like it.

 

Every time I install the kbxxxxxxx or other updates, they show in my update history for that day. The next day, when I click on "View update history", it says, "No Updates Have Been Installed". Very strange. I'm gonna search to forum to see if anyone else has this issue.

 

This update reset some scaling properties in 3rd party software i.e. large enough to view UIs and such. Check yours.

 

Not sure about what is that? Can you please enlighten us with some more details? Thanks.

 

Same thing happened to me.

 

Yup, think this event apply's to everybody , don't think it's a bug , think it's part of the way Windows 10 works .

Seems to only show what updates were successfully installed right after you installed them but then all info disappears .

 

That's interesting to hear since this might be only being seen with the 360 version and not with the Norton Internet Security suite. I'll have to let a security analyst I know at Symantec know about that and see what he comes back with.

Success or Fail is the immediate notification during the download(s) and installation of any updates. If there's a problem you can check on it right away. The "no new updates" when looked at the next day will simply show everything is up to date and shows what has been installed with the complete list.

Automatic confirmation that all is well is how to explain that. It's supposed to appear only when the installation is complete to let you know there hasn't been a problem of some type. It's basically the same as you would see with a 3rd party installer indicating the installation is complete before you click the finish button. Likewise the immediate notification doesn't have to display over and over again the latest to go on will be seen at the top of the list when looking at the total installed.

 

My update history goes all the way back to July 29 when I upgraded to W10.

Installing Norton or other AV programs should shutdown Windows Defender and you should not be getting any Defender updates. I have seen a problem when Defender had an error and when Norton was installed Defender did not shutdown. I had to uninstall Norton, update Defender and getting into a green state and then install Norton and then Defender would shutdown properly. To see is Defender is shutdown go to control panel and click on Windows Defender and it should show that it is off.





I run NIS 22.5.2.15 and that is what I show and I never get offered the Defender updates.

With VPIRE Internet Security 2015 with it's own ThreatNet type firewall, intrusion, web filtering protections the Windows Firewall and Windows Defender remain disabled automatically where you see the exact same pop up for the Defender as you have there.





At least you saw the 1 in 3 upgrades that will work normal while others tend to run into problems that will force you to either perform a second Upgrade to Repair type repeat upgrade install or having been activated and prefer go for a full nice and fresh clean install of 10 so anything not good as well as any clutter are gone for good! You can even wipe a drive totally if you want in order to start over completely fresh once the first upgrade has been activated.

 

I'll be a little more specific! When I ran live update on Norton 360 Premium, it found updates, downloaded the updates, but failed at processing updates. When I went to support, wish I wrote down the error code, It suggested reboot try again and if that fails run NRnR and re-install Norton. When Norton started the re-installation I got a message to uninstall another Virus Protection Source. I have no other sources. Once Norton was re-installed it worked fine.
The Defender update was the only change. I'm not savvy enough to know why, just know it caused a glitch with Norton 360 Premium.

 

It suggests that the Windows installer for the updates failed to see that 360 was running and subsequently the reinstall of Norton saw the traces from the first install or the Defender automatically was turned on by the Windows installer in order to install that update and red flags went up by Norton right away.

It doesn't take much since in most cases two av programs or two malware removers simply won't work together. One has to go or be disabled and the update process woke Defender up. I have the distinct feeling this is what you saw happen there. What GFI apparently did in the last year or so was dump their updated and upgraded form of originally.

Sunbelt Firewall after they bought Sunbelt out and now are using a 3rd party source called ThreatTrack.net for the web filtering process used in the VIPRE firewall. That keeps both the Windows firewall as well as Defender off entirely even when Defender updates go on. With the 360 however it didn't stop the installer from tripping something.

 

Thank-you for confirming that I'm not imagining things, FredC. Let's hope that Windows10 doesn't start retiring items in the old "Control Panel", as some have said. Right now, that's the one place where I can see all update history.

 

Well that's what has been the case until i just checked a minute ago , now the updates installed is showing . On previous installs they never showed , this OS is baffling.
