Windows 10: Why did failed attempt to install KB4023057 wipe my update history?

For the last few weeks M$ has been ferociously trying to force KB4023057 on to my PC but it fails to install every time.


I know why it fails. It fails because of changes I have made to stop it from being installed and that is not the issue.


Today, I caught it (noticed a lot of heavy CPU activity not related to anything I'm doing on the PC) trying to install yet again (the history was at 10 failed attempts when I looked yesterday).

When I opened the update history today to see what the failed count was up to (because your using my resources, my electricity, my money, to try and do things to my pc I don't want done!) I saw that the update history has been wiped clean except for the one failed attempt from today.


WTF is M$ doing to my PC ? It's quite obvious now they are doing other things in the background without my knowledge In an attempt to force this upgrade on me, which as we all know is just a tool to force the next feature update on us.


1809 causes all kinds of problem and I don't want it. I can't believe they're still trying to force this crap on us. Confirmed bugs included, invalidated Administrator accounts, data loss issues, issues with audio playback and bluescreens, font display issues, problems with mapped network drives that did not connect properly on start, and lots, lots more.

KB4023057 installed as program


I also have Windows 10 1709 : KB4023057 listed in programs and windows update is also trying to install it and failing at 71%
whatever I do !

" • 2018-07 Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4023057) - Error 0x80070643 "

So I have it already and it's still trying to install it and failing....

Anyone know a sensible course of action to remedy the situation ?

[It is installed twice in programs the second listing is called Windows setup remediations KB4023057]

 

How to uninstall KB4023057


On Jan 4 I installed KB4023057. I now wish I hadn't and want to uninstall it. I see it listed in "View update history" but it is not listed under "Uninstall update". Some of the fixes installed on Jan 4 are listed, but not KB4023057. How do I uninstall it other that by restoring from an old backup?

Update:
I see that KB4023057 is again awaiting download. Odd.

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate
