This month noticed that One very large Windows 7 update is not installing.   It attempts to install,  restarts the computer,  says it is updating computer then says update failed then reverts back.  All this installing and reverting back is taking up to a 5 minute wait for it to revert and finally offer me a sign in screen.    The primary update which seems to be causing the issue is this   -   below first line is update name and then other info about it.

I need to know how to get this update to install without causing me all this time consuming problem.

 

Also,  I have tried going to services.msc and setting PCPitstop realtime to "disabled" then attempting to install and get the same results.

Hi Kurt,

 

Download and Save the stand alone installer for this patch from here:

 

http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4048957

 

Next, disable Super Shield once again as you did previously and restart the computer.

 

Navigate to the stand alone installer for KB4048957 and Right click it and choose:  Run as Administrator

 

Allow it to install and restart your computer.

 

If successful, then be sure to turn your Super Shield protection back on.

 

These latest updates are doing this with just about any 3rd party AV installed.  You've got a handful of Windows 7 Pro computers, so I don't know if this occurred on just one or all of them, but if it is occurring on all of them, then after saving the KB4048957 update, put it on a flash drive and use that to move it from computer to computer.

 

Here's a bit more information about this specific update:

Y  I have the same problem on my wife's Windows 7 computer.  This update refuses to install.  I followed your instructions except I don't get a "run as Administrator" when I right click the installer.  Anyway after it goes through the process I get a box stating that the update is not for my computer or something to that effect. ( I'm not at that computer right now)??? Been trying to fix this since the update came out.  Any other ideas?

Check whether you are trying to install the 32 or 64 bit version.

Use an elevated command prompt to launch the executable if you don't get admin rights in the context menu.

This fix worked on a couple of my computers , 

1. Back up your computer in case bad happens.   Make a hard copy of these directions now ..   

2. Go to Windows 7 button in lower left corner of screen .. in search box type in "msconfig"  go up and right click on SERVICES and run as admin,   basically your doing what is called a clean boot _  When at the  SYSTEM CONFIGURATION BOX ,   on the GENERAL tab go down and hit the selective startup button  then uncheck the "load startup items" box.   Now go up and click on the SERVICES tab  go down to the bottom left and check the "Hide all Microsoft Services" box... then go over to the right and click the DISABLE ALL button...hit apply ...hit  Ok  exit 

 

3.  reboot the computer

4. Now go to Windows Update and install the Updates.

When the updates are installed then 

 

5. ..Windows button, search msconfig ....Box... General Tab  hit the NORMAL Startup button go to SERVICES tab and all the services should already have checks in the boxes.  IF not,  if the enable button is Bold, hit it and then hit apply, hit ok ..exit   

 

6. REBOOT

 

should be back to normal now.

The CLEAN BOOT procedure above did not work for one of my computers so I decided to do a clean install of Windows 7 and while I was at it I used an SSD which saves lots of time !!   Everything worked great all updates are installed  all 200ish of them..

Glad you got it sorted

Evidently  PC Matic  has an issue which will not allow these updates.  And I would PC Matic to fix this without me having to jump thru hoops every month.
