I will now go on to check the laptop with the main problem of not installing KB3000850 !
Hi and welcome to Sysnative. It wasn't clear if you still needed assistance with this issue.
Thanks - yes I will need help with first laptop please, but I need some time to gather the evidence. The second laptop seems A-OK now.
Back in a few days!....
---------
I spoke too soon.... The laptop that was fixed became broken again - running sfc /scannow threw up errors again! I then ran SFCFix.exe, and it claims that the "restore operation completed successfully" etc etc....
I have a question - what caused the corruption in just 24 hours ? I have installed no updates or programs. I have however run Wise DiskClean and Wise Registry Clean, but I don't see how that would corrupt files... Anyone know what's going on? Here's the SFCFix output:
