I reinstalled the last 6 version, 6.39 after I tried 7.xx. , 6.39 works fine on 11. Will not go past this one. The only reason I keep it now is for the easy uninstall interface. I now use Ashampoo WinOptimizer 27 for cleaning.

Repaired the thing by removing the 2230 WD SSD and replaced with a 2280 Micron that I had a clone of the last backup on. Ran update again and all went well. So there must have been some sort of issue within the OS. Anyway, I'm back on the old 7740. It's just my backup machine anyway. Will format...

Could be, I just checked Windows update myself, and the 7462 showed up again and is downloading. Kind of weird, it would show as having successfully installed in the download history. I am letting it do its thing again and see what happens. Error code: (0x80073712) now I got this, and...

yes........ restart and complete reboot both, still shows 7171 when I run winver

Yesterday, this 7462 security update kept failing to install on my older Dell 7740. Nothing I could do would let it install; it just kept saying something went wrong and reverted. So today I retried, it downloaded, went into install, but failed again. But this time it didn't reboot, it just said...

Just for FYI on my Dell 7740 saga, today I was able to finally restore it. I got some advice from the seller I bought my 7760 from a few months ago. So today, when I got the SSD enclosure in the mail, and attempted the procedure. I removed all SSD drives, NVMe and the SATA SSD's did a “system...

Why do these “preview” updates still show up if you have “Get the latest updates as soon as they are available,” OFF?

Well today while running WU on my 7740 with 23H2, it went right into downloading 24H2 again, this time it didn't show it under where I could leave it be. As expected, when the system restarted the blue error screen appeared again, it did a restart and at least this time it did roll back the...

Just some information I do have net 3.5 and 4.8.1 updates on my Dell, which did get some updates last time. But I assume no .8 or .9 So I checked, and it says it's ok to manually install .Net 8 and or .Net 9 yourself. I downloaded them and installed both just now. I restarted my system and...

okyyy, so is it 2 months for those that get it and not for those that dont??

I got the defender and the Cumulative updates. but no .NET. Should I have?

Yes that's what I thought, if you want that type I thought you needed to check the box to download the newest updates before the regular ones. That the preview type don't show up at all if the box is checked. I see no reason to download preview updates unless I wanted to practice with my...

I just got my dell 7760 and setting things up, it came with 24H2 and so far I haven't seen anything go off by installing some things. I do wonder why when I checked Windows update, it showed some 25-2 Cumulative update preview KB5052093 I thought if you have the “get the latest updates”...

So today I received my Dell 7760 Am setting things up slowly. Not going to do anymore “preview” updates this time. Only what shows up as normal updates. Making my first system backup before doing too much more. This thing looks like brand new. I got it off eBay at an excellent deal. I’ll...

I think I tried to get that once, but it said something about my support being expired. I don't have any Dell system recovery on this now if it was there, I had to install a normal 23H2 version using a USB installer. What I'm going to try on the 7740 is format the drive and try the 24H2 USB...
