Security Update for M/S Windows (KB5029244) BUT post dated 24/9/23 when it is 23/9/23 in NZ.
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 22H2
Installed on 18/01/2021
OS build 19045.3448
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19044.1000.0
Came across the above when trying to fix another issue with a missing DVD drive.
Thought I would remove the update as clearly some kind of error / spyware disguised as a security update?
Couldn't remove it with std removal so tried wusa, which generated 0x800f0905 error.
Went thru almost identical process to suggested SFC / DISM but more thorough.
Still Couldn't Delete With wusa.
Ended up rebooting PC (trying to fix missing DVD), rechecked the windows update list - now KB5029244 is NOT Present!
Completely disappeared. I hadn't uninstalled it! Did the reboot fix this or was some piece of spyware removed beforehand ?
Thanks for your help!
