Startup and Notification area

R]I ran this batch file, but it did not help (which I understand, because Task Manager > Processes does NOT show WinDates).

I am back to the conclusion that Win 10 can run WinDates manually, but not automatically at startup (via link). If I double-click on the link C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\WinDates.lnk, WinDates opens fine.

My next step will be to run a scan of system files to see if something is corrupt. However, any other suggestions are welcome.

 

windows 10 update KB5015878

Hi,

I am having a problem with a windows 10 update, it is that the update KB5015878 keeps failing and reinstalling.

I have tried numerous solutions to try to fix it, such as clearing the SoftwareDistribution directory, setting certain windows 10 features on or off but it keeps trying to reinstall and then fails when the machine reboots and attempts to finish the update.

Also I cannot find any information in Microsoft or a on Google about update KB5015878 and I am wondering if it is a real update?

I am very grateful for any suggestions or help

Regards

Tom
