Windows Update x64 or x86

Post by jstevens »

I'm puzzled. Windows updater refuses to update an this particular update.

Windows is contradicting itself. Which is it ... Windows 7 64 Bit or something else.

Must be a mistake. Here is a link to download the x64 version:

Also note the difference in file size. 1.80 MB vs 3.4 MB.

Hans,

How do I remove the previous file that was downloaded with the Windows Update tool? I see that it is still there and wants to install the file.

Can you find the file in Windows Explorer?

Hans,

I am able to find a number of files with the KB3035132 in the filename. I am unable to delete them as Administrator and encounter a message that requires permission from SYSTEM to make changes to the file.

Can you hide the update in Windows Update (from the right-click menu)?
