Deleting update xml file

[timbo2410]

Hi all, I have an error and resulting crashes with a recent update of Windows. It will not roll back fyi as the updates remain behind .. It seems there are 2 update xml files in the Winsxs folder that need to be deleted. Now, try as I might I cannot delete or change the names of these files .. elevated admin access, safe mode, etc etc .. I cannot run sfc as it says there is a pending update .. have tried deleting via cmd prompt but as it has trusted installer rights it errors due to access permission .. any hints would be much appreciated
