TomFace 539 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Was doing the usual Windows updates and am having trouble (error 80072EFE) with 3 security updates (I use Win 7). Come to find out one of them KB3139929 according to InfoWorld, contains an ad generator for Win 10 . Anyone else having issues or know anything about this? hxxp://www.infoworld.com/article/3042155/microsoft-windows/windows-patch-kb-3139929-when-a-security-update-is-not-a-security-update.html#tk.rss_microsoftwindows ************************************************************************************************* FYI-Running the Windows Update troubleshooter and/or resetting Windows Update components (using the Windows Update troubleshooter) and/or running Fix It #50202 in Advanced mode will delete your Update History but not the list of Installed Updates. I learned that with a previous issue. ******************************************************************************************************************* EDIT...I was able to get 2 updates installed-am holding off of KB3139929 Edited March 10, 2016 by TomFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond Novice 1 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Uninstall update KB 3139929. Check for updates again and Hide KB 3139929. Just do without it. I use GWX Control Panel from Ultimate Outsider .com (it's free & clean) to keep Win 10 updaters off of my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond Novice 1 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I installed the update KB 3139929. After opening IE11 I went to Manage Add Ons. Under All Add-Ons is a Windows Update. I simply disabled it and have no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFace 539 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks BN. Appreciate the information. I also use GWX. It just irritates me what they're (MS) doing. ********************************************************************** EDIT 3-13-16 I did install KB3139929 You can read a discussion here: hxxp://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-update/windows-7-downloads-march-2016/d5f49cd3-2f3c-4f19-b71c-6f204a0bc1ed?auth=1 Edited March 14, 2016 by TomFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
