KB3022345 failing. Manual install?

opethdisciple · 21 Apr 2015 at 23:44

So Microsoft release a slew of updates today. None critical, but I installed them anyway.

Except KB3022345 is failing. A little google and I'm not alone.

The update is installable manually tho. However how does this affect Windows update? Will it still offer it to me or will it realise it's already installed and not pop up?

I know it's a non critical update but the OCD in me needs it disappeared! :cool:

Looks like it's only affecting UK users. I'm sure they'll update it in the next few days to fix this issue..

I have the same issue

I have the same problem and feel the same way about it aswell. I made a post here about it after I was unable to resolve it. Tried safe boot, deleting WU SoftwareDistribution, SCF and image check all failing to fix.

Good to know that:

A) I'm not alone
B) I'm not the only one OCD!

I'll quote my finding that I've posted on the other site:

I just tested for it in a VM with the latest Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 ISO from MSDN and it's the exact same problem. This is a brand new, clean and unpolluted VM pulling updates. Given this result I'm now inclined not to let my OCD bother me as I'm sure this will be addressed in time by MS.

It's just surprising that their tests haven't picked up on it before it was pushed publicly.

^Did you pick UK as your language during setup?

I did, yes. It didn't occur to me to try multiple languages as it seems a wide enough spread issue now. Another report here.

Maybe it isn't such a bad thing KB3022345 isn't being installed. Have people read what is and does?

Some Googling of KB3022345 reveals it is a Diagnostics Tracking Service. When looking deeper, it seems to collect keystrokes and other data and transmits it to Microsoft (source).

Your mixing two different things there.

That update doesnt mention anything about collectig personal information.

As far as I can tell what you've linked to is win 10 preview specific.

Possibly, but then I have a DiagTrack service in my Windows 8.1 computer. I have disabled the service with no known bad effects.

I've noticed they have pulled the update. It no longer shows up when I check for updates. :confused:
