Firewall policy import fail

Thanks for the tip. I looked at that registry key, but saw no rules for installed software, or user-defined. Apparently stored elsewhere… Oh yes, Cortana especially wanted back online. But μ$oft seems to have calmed down lately (?), as well as for its crapola apps it kept reinstalling at each...

Firewall policy import fail

Hi xilolee, and thanks for answering. :thumbsup2: Not much: – Adobe Flash player; – the Windows nasties removal tool. I'm astonished that this specific problem isn't (apparently) discussed somewhere on the Web. :noidea: Now that I've been burned – presumably having to rebuild my settings from...

Firewall policy import fail

Hello all! To avoid W10 privacy problems + getting updates when I want them, I set up my own Windows firewall rules. Updating was easy: – save my policy; – switch the firewall to "recommended settings"; – update; – import my policy and worked nicely for ~ 1 year. Today, after two small...

[SOLVED] KB3000850 incomplete install

Hello! (Again, yes… :smile9: ) I did as instructed, refraining from trying the fix and trying IE updates (one problem at a time). Other updates went OK. Log files zipped together: Hope you'll find the snag. Of course I'm extremely grateful for your continued involvement in my small problem...

[SOLVED] KB3000850 incomplete install

Well, no luck, everything fails in the old manner. :sad: (Notice that I killed antivirus & firewall to minimize interference.) The KB3000850 complement fails at ~ 97% (error code 800F0922), and trying the full downloaded ~ 700 MB installer I get "already installed" (thanks, I know…). KB3032359...

Hello GTP, Hope your vacations were splendid! Here nothing new: – KB3000850 fails (it's the ~ 60 MB remainder); – KB3032359 (IE) fails. Some other, unimportant, updates went OK. As you suggested, I ran FSC /SCANNOW and here's the log: CBS_140508 Three CbsPersist files of roughly the same...

Thank you so much for your kind help, Go The Power! As the result of running ListChkdskResult.exe is a bit long, instead of pasting it in the message I uploaded it here: ListChkdskResult Hope that is OK. I ran CHKDSK several times because another tool, ioBit's Disk Doctor, still reports some...

[SOLVED] KB3000850 incomplete install

Hello all! Machine: Acer laptop running Win 8.1 (upgraded from 8) 64 bit. As mSoft moved that KB3000850 upgrade to "important" (and, as I read, won't allow further upgrades if it's not installed), I felt I had to do it. Web install diden't work (not quite sure now, but the error code could...
