    What Times WU To Auto Check For Updates?


    I'm in the exact same situation. I'm just going to wait and see. Perhaps my PC (and yours) are bottom of the list for this update for some reason.

    Sure manual check upgrades it but auto doesn't.

    Sorry I can't suggest why...

    Manually installed updates keep being offered by Windows Update

    I have installed the following updates manually, downloaded them directly from Microsoft Catalog site.

    • Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3139907)
    • Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3140768)
    • Security Update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3144756)
    However, after they have been successfully installed, Windows Update keeps offering them again, as if they weren't installed yet.

    Is this a known issue?

    Why does Windows Update keep offering manually-installed updates?

    How can I remove them from Windows Update's update list so that it won't download them over and over again?

    Should you manually Check for Updates or wait for them to be offered to you

    KB4056892 not offered for update; manual install fails 0x80073715


    The Meltdown patch has not been offered so far for update on my Win10 Pro (build 1709) laptop. It also fails the PowerShell script that MS provided to check if your system is vulnerable. It is NOT an AMD system, and I'm using Windows Defender for antivirus protection. When Windows Update failed to pull the Meltdown updated, I manually downloaded the KB4056892 cumulative update. When I try running it fails with error 0x80073715. I've tried running sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth both of which report that Windows is just peachy.

    The only other thing to note is that non-security updates were deferred, but I recently turned that off and updated to build 1709.

    Any other suggestions before I chuck this thing in a volcano?
