    To hide an update in Windows XP just go to Windows Update site, after it scans uncheck the update and hit the + next to it. At the bottom of the expanded explanation of the update the checkbox to hide that update will become active, and can be selected, thus hiding the update.

    For the record I have FOUR Win XP Serv. Pack 3 PC's (2 desktops and 2 laptops) all were up to date as of 5/21/2012 at my desk - The three updates mentioned in this thread are repeatedly coming up on 3 machines as needing to be installed even though they've been installed several times already. These updates did install without issues on the 4th (a desktop) PC, so it is possible I guess to get them to install, and not continually reappear.

    I too am having this issue with these three updates continuously downloading and installing.

    So is the working hypothesis is that this is a glitchy patch from MSFT?

    Had the same problem on my work PC this morning (both home PC and work PC). MS are you listening???? Please FIX this.

    To hide the updates, go to MS update website and instead of choosing [EXPRESS], click on [CUSTOMIZE] and deselect these updates and check box not to show again. You can restore hidden updates at a later date when MS fixes this. I checked my update history to be sure the updates had actually installed and they had (3 times on my home PC).

    Manual updating won't fix it. Neither will the Automatic Updates - "FIXIT"

    Well this just became a world wide problem.

    Just google these words and limit the search to 1 week. You'll see.

    Same problem with recurring updates for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2.  

    This site and many others are loaded with complaints that .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 Security Updates are repeatedly offered for installation.  This has been going on since February 2012.

    My configuration is "Download updates for me, but let me chose when to install them." And yet it installed the updates automatically on shutdown.

    XP Professional SP3 with all prior updates applied.   Same results.

    The three KBs: 2572073; 2633880 and 2518864

    What I did to correct this:

    1. Removed all .NET versions from add remove programs - did not restart when promted until all versions were removed (1.1; 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 SP1 and 4.0)

    2. Rebooted

    3. Microsoft update site to get the .NET versions installed.

    4. Rebooted

    5. Steps 3 & 4 about seven times.

    6. So far no more popup telling me that those need to be installed again.

    7. This will be a nightmare for admins if this is the step to do as it took about 2 hours to complete those tasks.

    I am having the same issue with the same patches, again and again! 

    Important to say that the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910339 provides a fix for the Windows Update. This is valid only for properly installed patches. For this case, both Method 1 and Method 2 should indicate that patches were correctly installed. However, despite "Review the installation history" of Method 1 shows correct installation, "Examine the installation of log file" of Method 2 shows no log files as expected!

    Waiting a cool fix from Microsoft...

    Petoskeyslim,

    What happens if you check for updates at Microsoft Update?

    I have the same 3 updates appearing on all 6 win XP Pro machines & not on my Win7 machines. When the updates first appeared I thought it strange as they were "out of cycle". I subscribe to Microsoft Technical Security Notifications & no mention of these updates. Googled for info, nothing current (early yesterday). I checked my update history & found 2518864 installed on 6/14/11, 2572073 on 11/12/11 & 2633880 on 2/16/12. Visiting the MS pages for these updates do not show any current changes. As the update had now appeared on several machines I decided to install it (3 machines before I wised up) with the same results everyone else is having.

    Hiding the update is a workaround but MS should be able to fix this, since they broke it.

    Dr, Sysop - here is the link to the mentioned fix You cannot install updates from Windows Update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144)

    But I think you will be wasting your time. BatistaJoaoMS - did you have the same problem & were you able to repair your machine?

    If yes, did you visit MS Update site after the fix?

    I/M/H/U - BatistaJoaoMS has the correct solution.  I have executed the solution on all 4 of the XP PRO SP3 computers that make up my workstation with success!  HOWEVER, as I have clean, current, and updated installs of the OS and all of Microsoft's updates, patches, etc., and I have not had any problems with any of them to date until this batch of updates, I chose not to install the fix.  I have reviewed my Prefetch file (C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\NDP20SP2-KB_______) to assure that the three updates in question have been downloaded.  Clearing the cache, stopping the service in order to completely delete the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder (including the ReportingEvents.log which cannot be deleted with the service running), and then restarting the service overcomes the mis-set flag or parameter in the update.

    Notwithstanding, here is the link for Microsoft fix 50597...

    Dr, Sysop, sorry about that "waste of time" comment - while I was writing my post to you, you posted that you had already found the link & tried the solution. I was unaware of that post & was suggesting you should save yourself the bother because I suspected it would not fix the problem.

    I had similar issues over the last few days that I thought I had fixed yesterday by removing .NET and reloading it.  I got a clean UM.  But then this morning it came back with these 3 patches.  MS, it is in your ballpark.  I wish you would get on here and at least acknowledge that you are working on it.

    I have the same problems reported here with KB2633880, KB2518864, KB2572073. According to my msft update history I have installed these updates six times "successfully", I have several (repeat) files from the updates littering my Local Settings/Temp folder, but can't see them listed in "Add/Remove programs list.

    The only time I've had update problems with my (I hope well-maintained) winXP_Pro system was the last (May 11'th) update when KB2597162 (Office update) said it had failed to install, but as far as I could tell had installed just fine. That one was listed as failed in "update history" but was shown installed in Add/Remove list. I mention this only since there may be a connection with the present problem. I had tried removing, re-installing, running the msft fix, etc but nothing helped so I ignored it.

    Today's problem can't be so easily ignored though - are they installed or not?

    At this point it does not matter.  They have pulled the updates, they no longer exist/have been expired.  Sync your WSUS servers or what-ever the process is called in SCOM and the updates will no longer be shown.

    As an FYI, when you run MS Update and you have hidden updates, there will be a message at the top of the updates page, above any updates that it finds that will tell you that you have hidden updates with a link to show them.  If you are not seeing it at this point and these are the only updates that you have ever hidden, then I would say that due to MS pulling the updates, they no longer exist and thus aren't "hidden" any more.

    o ,thanks Mordock. So next time when others new windows update come, will they be hidden automatically on my laptop? Do I need to click and correct anything now to make sure it won't hide them in the future?


    Many thanks,

    I appear to have stopped the incessant prompting with an MS Update repair.  However, I now show 3 "successful installations" for each of the 3 updates in my update history.

    Does anyone know if 3 "successful installations" might be problematical?

    no, Keith, it will not hide anything automagically.  you needn't worry about it.

    And Whateez, 3 successful installs will not be problematical.

    Install them one by one from the newest to the oldest (Ex. KB26…, KB257…, and then the KB251…). That’s what it work for me, since I didn’t see any reason to do all those “fix it” you see all over.  Rise and repeat as needed, you may only see the second one after you install the first one, then after installing the second one you may see the first one and the second again...

    It definitely looks like it has been resolved although one of the machines insisted that I installed the updates again via the yellow shield before it would get rid of the yellow shield.

    Just to be absolutely sure, I am just imaging up another machine to test.

    I also checked on another machine where I had hidden the 3 updates and these have now disappeared from the hidden updates list so no need to worry about not been notified about those three at some point in the future.

    Steve & Susan - thanks for your help, it really is much appreciated and the problem does seem to be addressed.

    I believe I might be the "one person" referred to, and after agreeing this wasn't the right forum I attempted to find the 'windows update' forum - there isn't one, at least, not one I could find. Also, I found how difficult navigating these forums are. (I'm not much of a 'forum' type) I did discover several posts in the windows XP service pack 3 Forum but as someone else observed they are not nearly as active as this post. I don't know why the original poster chose to post here - but his clarity in the title (his question) was certainly effective.

    Regardless of the difficulty in navigating the forums & the needless frustration this error has caused many, your help is still sincerely appreciated.

    Well glad we could be of some help even though this doesn't have anything to do with Small Business Server. Fortunately Susan is an SBS MVP and also keeps close track of update issues as a side "specialty." I watch her blog closely and that's how I was alerted to the problem.

    MS12-035 is the superceding .net update that takes the place of the three updates.  Microsoft security bulletin 12 (for 2012) - 35th released security bulletin. 

    What is your machine set on ?  Download but do not install?  If so manually go to windowsupdate and do a custom scan.

    Instead of telling us the problem has been fixed, why didn't you tell us HOW the problem was fixed. More importantly, tell us what we need to do, so we can take advantage of that 'fix' ... it was NOT obvious to me. And no (I will preemptively answer), no ID-ten-T error here ... 27 years IT/SE experience for DoD/NASA/NOAA/commercial, 500k+ DSLOC.

    It may be hard for you to grasp this, but there are actually people out there who do not religiously read every security bulletin, and for whom 12-035 means next to nothing ... really.

    Try helpful instead of spiteful next time.

    Wow - talk about being rude and inconsiderate. READ the thread! Your answers are there! I've been monitoring this thread all day - and it's been quite informative for us "IT" people.  Since I realize you'll complain about having to read the thread, let me summarize it for you:  it was an error on Microsoft's end and they fixed it. So, reading more (sorry - forgot, you don't like to read) - you don't have to do ANYTHING - the fix is in the update and is pushed out. Problem solved.

    Good lord, where do you read spite?  I was asking a question and even joking.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-035

    There is a .net update for Server 2003 and xp released on May 8th.  Apparently last night some time it got pulled off the Microsoft servers and we started seeing three OLD .net updates that were superceded by the May .net updates suddenly start reappearing.  As of 10 a.m this morning the May .NET updates got reposted.  On my personal server 2003, I have auto updates enabled.  Ihad a yellow icon in the system tray.  At 5 p.m this evening, I clicked on the yellow icon which made the server attempt to install the updates.  The process "failed" since the detection had already been cleared up this morning.  But the failure was actually the update clearing out.

    So if you are not seeing this behavior I'm trying to figure out why.  As this should have just cleared out for you automatically and you shouldn't still be getting this over and over again.

    If you are, can you send me your windowsupdate.log located at c:\windows so I can send it to someone from Microsoft who said the detection problem was fixed at 10 a.m this morning.

    You happened to be posting in the small business server forum (look at the url above) and it would be nice if the very first person (who I was asking the question of) would say why he posted here, because I want to know if there's something that can be done to direct people to the right place.

    As far as attitude, I'm trying to figure out what operating system and what windows update settings everyone has. 

    I don't work for Microsoft, I'm a volunteer.  So how about we all start over and all of us stop jumping to conclusions and thinking we have spite and attitude when all I'm doing here is trying to understand what platform everyone has and why this didn't clear out..  I know you are upset that your computer is screwing up.  I've about had it with Microsoft and .NET updates myself.

    Bottom line the reason why I'm asking seemingly stupid questions is that this is the Small Business Server forum normally and so I need to ask what OS you have so I can understand and see if I can reproduce what you guys are seeing on platforms I have.  I can't repro this on server 2003 I have at home.

    I write on patching issues for WindowsSecrets.com and .NET is always a .PAIN.

    No, it has not - perhaps the servers have not refreshed, as I have flushed the downloaded files from yesterday, yet the same problems are occurring. I have tried to install these files 4 times, with antivirus completely off, just in case of conflict. 

    I have hidden the updates for now, as I tire of this quickly - the laptop this is happening on is slower [1.6 GHz, 2GB RAM, 5400rpm HD] and with only one core, the NET Frame updates always take forever.

    "Download but do not install"

    Let me run this by Microsoft.  I can't set up a box to repro this but I'm going to bet that for anyone with "download but do not install" those old updates are stuck in the software update folder and will keep on reinstalling until you reset your windows update settings.

    ray,

    Windows Update is no less a 'solution' than System Restore, nor Snortley's accidental Java-install 'solution' ... anything that reinitializes the auto update logic will do. The System Restore 'solution' simply has the disadvantage of undoing anything else you may have done to the system since the last restore point. If you haven't, then go for it, no harm done, but it will do nothing for you aside from what Windows Update will.

    What is not a solution: (1) hoping the auto updates will end on their own, after just one more try, because the problem has theoretically been fixed (they won't), or (2) rebooting, and hoping that will end the relentless updates (the update notification will be waiting for you upon login), or (3) kb/910339 FixIt for Update (which will spin wheels for a while, tell you it fixed the update, but accomplish nothing in the end ... the same updates will pop right back up again).

    The problem with the MS 'fix' to this issue is that (1), (2), and (3) above will NOT resolve the problem ... THIS is why the issue has frustrated so many people! You found an answer on your own, as did Snortley; that's great. I read through this forum (yes, I did) and found the Windows Update answer here, but clearly others are still struggling with this.

    Susan,

    I as many simply googled "KB2158864 Endless Loop" and of course this was the hip-hoppin - rockin first click at the top of the results list. Not to mention the fact it was loaded with information solving the issue. Now if the Windows update forum appeared of course a small majority of us would have clicked there instead :P

    But since the answer was here.. you now are the proud owner of a borderline flame war, which for some odd reason spontaniously combusted into the resolution regardless of the forum.  Thanks !! Muhahahah!!!!

    Oh By the way... Keith.. just WHY did you post it here.. when there is an update forum??

    I'm having the same issue.

    OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter Edition Service Pack 2

    Automatic Updates: Notify me but don't automatically download or install them.

    I tried to download and install these updates 3 or 4 times but they still keep reappearing.

    I'm new here and I don't know how to send the WindowsUpdate.log file.

    Best regards

    Well I understand why person 2 through ...what are we up to  82?  are here, I'm still interested in why the very first person installing patches on a laptop - which is probably not a small business server - got here.  Obviously Microsoft's forum structure needs work.  So I'm honestly seriously interested in what he was looking for, what he clicked on to get here because while you got to a spot where there's people that know what's going on, it's honestly not the best place necessarily to start the conversation.

    So Mr. person one - how did you get here, what were you looking for so next time this happens we can get the forum structure to provide a better place.

    So for the future, what needs to be done better so that the question is posted in a nicer place in the future is why I'm honestly asking this.

    I apologize, I got flustered with some of the comments and forgot to tell you my email address.  Send the windowsupdate.log file to susan-at-msmvps.com (take out the -at- and replace it with @)

    Resetting doesn't work.. see if resetting your software distribution folder will.

    Method 10: Empty the software distribution folder



    1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

      Note On a Windows Vista-based computer, click Start, type services.msc in the Start Search box, right-click services.msc, and then click Run as administrator.
    2. In the Services (Local) pane, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click Stop.
    3. Minimize the Services (local) window.
    4. Select all the contents of the Windows distribution folder, and then delete them.

      Note By default, the Windows distribution folder is located in the <var>drive</var>:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder. In this location, <var>drive</var> is a placeholder for the drive where Windows is installed.
    5. Make sure that the Windows distribution folder is empty, and then maximize the Services (local) window.
    6. In the Services (Local) pane, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click Start.
    7. Restart the computer, and then run Windows Update again.

    Sorry, but here (Canada) it's 2:06 AM on May 23rd, Eastern Time and the problem still exists for me. So it hasn't been fixed for everyone.

    So, what are my options? I'm not a computer specialist, so I would appreciate some clear, simple directives and/or explanations on how to deal with the problem.

    Thank you,

    Luc.

    Phenomenon to be detected is about repetition and KB2518864, KB2633880 KB2572073 - Microsoft Answers:

    "Repetition will be detected and is KB2518864, KB2633880 KB2572073. "

    "The system had a trouble is a temporary problem if is installed KB2604092 (provided in the MS12-035) on your system, it is detected three updates KB2518864 and, KB2572073 KB2633880 repeatedly, currently will have been eliminated.

     For the inconvenience, sorry.

     If, if you have encountered this phenomenon is still present, restart the Windows, again, Please carry out Windows Update. "

    The only place I've found where someone from Microsoft has tried to explain this and apologized about it. Folks still impacted may want to restart their computers.  Yes I know it's a translation from Japanese, but it's what I found.

    First reboot your computer and see if merely rebooting will clear out the patches stuck please?  Yes I know people hate to reboot but could you please and see if merely rebooting will clear this up?

    Thank you in advance if you can do that and report back.

    I believe that resetting your updates can fixed the problem. See below what has worked for me:

     

    Click Start, Run

    Type the following:

    net.exe stop wuauserv

    click OK

    Type:

    regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll

    click OK

    Type:

    regsvr32.exe wups.dll

    click OK

    Type:

    regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll

    click OK

    Type:

    regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll

    click OK

    Type:

    regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll

    click OK

    Type:

    net.exe start wuauserv

    click OK

    Restarted computer

     

    Note:

    • The update balloon stayed in the systry for about five minutes and suddenly disappeared and remained in that way.
    • I ran windows update and the balloon remained dead, up to now.

     

    Try this procedure and post the results, please.

    that procedure has nothing to do with 'resetting updates' but is instead re-registration of the DLLs, which, if already correctly registered could be expected to have no effect, or from previous suggestion out of MS, NEGATIVE EFFECT.

    I _would not_ implement the suggested procedure.

    ... my answer to Susan Bradley's better question (Why is this posted to small business server?) is ... 

    Because:  I used Google search time and again while this bug was annoying me yesterday and never found anything on the web about the problem until this morning in this place.  

    Microsoft does not (or Google doesn't scan it's location) post solutions to global problems sufficiently conspicuously so that customers can know that the problem they are fighting is recognized and a fix is on the way.  If information about the fix detection had been available before I repeatedly tried to resolve it myself (thinking it was only my machine that was affected) I would have stood down and waited for the global fix to resolve the issue.

    Microsoft remember, wine may improve with age... bad news never does.

    I also had this problem on May22 in Germany. I have Windows XP Prof Service pack 3 - version 2022. I even rebooted the computer and was told that there were 3 updates - don't pull the plug! That´did NOT solve the problem. Later in the day, someone suggested try the Internet Explorer. I did and it found the 3 updates. I then clicked to install them and at the end - it stated everything works OK. I then ran the test again and it found the same 3 updates!!!! I again clicked to install again and like before it stated all is OK. I then check again for updates and THIS time it stated there are no new updates!The time on May 22 was about 16:00 CET (10:00 Eastern time).

    Today I checked the update history and found  20 (or more) updates on May 22 and that all ended "OK".

    Still not resolved. I have a fresh gen of XP Pro SP3 so nothing to roll-back to.

    I did the:

    Method 10: Empty the software distribution folder

    And that solved the problem for the rest of the day. This morning I came and there were 8 updates. I did that, and "They're Back!!" Again & Again & Again....

    Hi Susan,

    I have a dilemma.

    I have SBS-2008, and downloaded several updates last Tuesday and Wednesday.

    Ever since, I have had thousands of SEL's (system event logs) in Application, System, and Security.

    I clear the logs, but the come back by the hundreds.

    For example, in just one hour, I got 155 events in Application, 4,055 in Security, and 51 in System.

    I can provide a listing of the common events that I get if you would like.

    I am not a competent network guy by any means, but it falls under my area of responsibility.

    We are a small business, with one Dell PowerEdge T610 server, with 11 workstations running off of the server.

    I've not had any problems downloading updates for Windows, Micrisoft SBS-2008, or Viper software over the last 9 months, until this past week.

    Help !

    Rick, can you start a new thread as it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with this one.

    It's normal for a SBS to have chatty event logs btw.

    I take it there still isn't a fix for the 3 Stooges not registering as installed? I just cleaned out the SoftwareDist folder because I got tired of seeing the notice every time I log in.

    The "fix" occurred weeks ago.  If you are still seeing this, I'm guessing you had the setting "download but do not install"?

    Are you still seeing this behavior after you cleared out the software distribution folder?

    If you have KB2604092 installed, this post is for you...

    These three updates have been replaced by KB2604092 (MS12-035). Look under the "Update Replacement" section.

    Apparently the Installer does not report and detect this condition properly as installing any of the three will return a "Installation Successful" message - a false positive when KB2604092 is already installed.  Through some trial and error by removing then re-installing .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and applying each KB update one by one in the order they were relesaed.  All three would install properly until KB2604092 was installed.  Then all three would disappear from the add/remove progams list.  The obersvation lead me to look more into KB2604092.  The good news is the vulnerabilities are being covered, albeit by another update. So no need to worry about waiting for a fix or uninstalling/reinstalling .NET Framework.  Just make sure you have KB2604092 installed and decline the three older updates.

    Possible solutions to stop notifications.  I'm not going into details since it can be found elsewhere online:

    -Windows Update, Online: Select the custom button and uncheck the update you wish to decline.  Accept the option "Don't notify again...".

    -WSUS: Decline/unapprove theses updates at the WSUS server so they don't get pushed to clients and servers.

    Good luck!

    Bryan
