    Windows Security Virus Scan

    Please confirm you don't have a list like this:

    Windows Security not able to complete scans 274773d1587048469t-windows-security-virus-scan-1.png


    e.g. from here (or via the control panel):

    Windows Security not able to complete scans 274774d1587048581t-windows-security-virus-scan-2.png


    If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

    Yes that's exactly what I have. If you notice there is an uninstall option next to organize if you scroll to other updates ie. office, but it will disappear once you scroll to the latest updates.

    Windows Security not able to complete scans

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Windows Security not able to complete scans :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
