Problems with (1466) cat and mum files
Boggin:
What updates did WSUS install - update history or reliability history should tell you that.
If this problem pre-dated Dec's updates then I doubt you would have a restore point that would go back that far.
This is where a system image would have helped.
mclovis:
I had a system image (acronis) from Dec. and reverted to it, but the WU problem predated it. Restore points did not help. I am convinced that there are corrupted DLLs that are causing this issue. I do not want to do a full reinstall, but I am considering moving forward to Win 10 or a Linux distro for this machine (which is my personal development laptop). I was hoping for a way to "fix" the issue without those steps.
Boggin:
Do you fancy running SURT again and then post the Checksur log.
I'd have to ask for help in reading that because I can can't understand them either, but it could give the reason why the update is failing.
Sometimes a reinstall is all you can do and upgrading to Win 10 could resolve the problem, but I like to find out what is going wrong as well when possible.
Did WSUS install Dec's Rollup ?
mclovis:
Yes, Dec rollup was installed. Sure, I will run SURT again. As a double check, you are recommending running KB947821 again, yes? Also, does someone have enough experience with WSUS to answer this.. I looked at the WSUS specific log to determine what was installed. HOWEVER, windows update does not show these installed packages. Does that seem correct?
Boggin:
I would have thought there would be some record of which updates have been installed.
I've only used it once myself and that was following a factory reset on a Win 7 laptop.
It downloaded and installed 150 of 251 updates and the rest came naturally through Windows Updates and installed without any problem.
As I got all of them, there was no need to check update history so I don't know if update history will record any after WSUS.
Can yo go Start - start to type reliability and press enter when View reliability history is highlighted.
Red crosses are for Critical and i is for Info on the days anything occurred.
