Deleting Microsoft Defective Updates

(1/2) > >>

Racco:
I have learned that MS has released several defective updates that create issues with some Apps.  In particular with an app I use daily called Ninja Trader.  Here is a thread from an announcement made in a pertinent Forum: " Open the Programs and Features item in Control Panel, and then click View installed updates. Find and then uninstall any of the following update that are currently installed:
KB2982791
KB2970228
KB2975719
KB2975331
Restart the computer."
My "Programs and Features" does NOT list these updates, does that mean I don't have them?  Or, does it mean I have to dig a different way to find them?
Thanks.

Boggin:
In Programs and Features you will see the link for View Installed updates in the top left pane.

If it isn't then go Start - type installed updates then press enter.

Generally just uninstalling KB2982791 may do it but if you uninstall all of the listed and reinstall each one back at a time - except the 2791 one and then see if any affect Ninja Trader or cause any other problems.

MS released KB2993651 which is a replacement for 2791, which MS advises to uninstall before installing the patch.

Just doing that may resolve any problems as those MS listed updates haven't caused problems for everyone.

Racco:
Same difference, I do have any of the listed updates.

Boggin:
Try a restore point to before the updates and click on Scan for affected programs.

Shane:
So no installed updates show up at all?

You can also remove an update from the cmd.exe :wink:
