Windows updates - repetitive updates!
Downloaded and successfully installed 13 Windows monthly updates (x64) but am being plagued by two of them repeatedly being offered. No matter how many times I agree to download and install them, as soon as the process is finished they are offered again! I have, temporarily, resolved the matter by marking them both 'hide'. Not really a solution to the problem, but at least a practical one! Has anyone come across this before and knows how to make the problem go away please?

Re: Windows updates - repetitive updates!
Same scenario here, but I have 4 updates that are offered multiple times. After reading Joe's post, I assume that the only thing to do is to wait until MS offers some solution. At this point it is annoying, but probably not all that critical (hopefully).

Re: Windows updates - repetitive updates!
For the moment, it might be best to hide the updates so that they won't be offered again: search for updates, then right-click each of the offending updates and select Hide Update from the context menu.
You can unhide them at any later moment by clicking Restore Hidden Updates in the navigation pane of Windows Update.
