Windows 10: Two Windows Updates repeatedly installing!

Windows 10 10240
Since the middle of November the only Windows Updates that have downloaded are Security Update for Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, Silverlight, Malicious Software Removal Tool and Update for Windows 8.1 forx64-based Systems (KB2990967) and Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems(KB3063843) these last two updates keep repeating to download and install. I can see no other updates ready to download, that includes the KB3122947 1511 update which does not appear when I check for updates!
Why do KB2990967 and KB3063843 keep downloading and installing?Any suggestions?

How to temporarily prevent a Windows or driver update from reinstalling in Windows 10

There are two HP printer updates that do not install [repeatedly].

I do not need them because my printer was installed and updated via HP site.

How can I delete these downloaded updates that windows 10 keeps trying to install?

Is there, indeed, a way of deleting these. It will continue "trying" indefinitely it seems

 

Windows 10 Update error for x64 update

Windows 10 update keeps trying to install two updates and they repeatedly fail The updates are KB3154132 and KB3140741. The error code for both is 0x800736B3. I have used the troubleshooter and it keeps stopping and starting BitSvc and CryptSvc but the update
keeps failing. How do I get the update to succeed?

 

Just a very long shot in the dark.

First do a backup and/or system restore and check your OS partition for errors (chkdsk); then boot into safe mode and try deleting the windows\SoftwareDistribution folder. Restart and try again.

 

Hello scopio, *Smile

You might see if resetting Windows Update may help.

I run sfc /scannow and chkdsk and then run the .bat file above and I still get the same two updates only!

 

In that case, I would recommend to refresh or reset Windows. Be sure to back up anything you don't want to lose first. *Sad

Refresh Windows 10

Reset Windows 10

 

In that case I will download Windows 10 Home with the Media Creation Tool and clean install Windows.
I can then reinstall all my programs and as I have all my data backup I can then copy them to the relevant folders.
Do you know if the MCT has the latest 1511 version of Windows 10?

 

Yes, it sure does.

Thanks a clean install is my preferred method to get over my issues with Windows 10.

 

Get use to it. Windows 10 corrupts all the time. I had to do a clean install 5 times already since using Windows 10. I hate it. Windows 8.1 was even better never had to do a clean install and Windows 7 only once when changing the hard drive.
